Behind this beautiful photograph is a story of tremendous change.
Reflection
Angelou’s quote reminded me of one of my pet peeves: people who become prisoners of their own identity…or worse, an identity someone else gave them years ago.
I cringe when someone excuses less-than-stellar behavior with, “That’s just who I am.”
Maybe. But who you are today doesn’t have to be who you become tomorrow.
I’m not the same man I was decades ago.
Thank God!
Growth requires shedding old thinking, behaviors, labels, and versions of ourselves that no longer serve God’s purpose for our lives.
My personal Mission Statement: Inspire others to Dream More, Be More, and Live in the Light More isn’t just for you all; it’s a daily reminder for me to be a better person today than I was yesterday.
God isn’t finished with you.
Let Him work.
Soul Search
What old label or version of myself might God be asking me to release?
Scripture
“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” ~2 Corinthians 5:17
