Identity theft…a growing problem
Identity theft has become a pandemic sweeping our generation, not your credit and name going towards financing someone else’s pet projects, no, your hopes, your dreams, who you are and what you were meant to be have been strategically stolen, muddied, blurred and seduced in order to fuel someone’s pet project: the further attempt of abjection of any image of God. Much like a tenant under eviction, Satan knows he will not be able to keep this place — so he is intentionally wreaking as much destruction and havoc as he is allowed in order to make sure that as few as possible know what it is to be fully loved, fully valued and fully alive.
I know it sounds odd, however I’m writing this from the trenches, as someone who had a small taste of what that could feel like but is currently at the bottom again. I watched Braveheart tonight again for the first time in awhile and felt myself longing for that sort of passion of vision: the singular drive for a large Goal, not for me, but for others, that makes whatever work, whatever pain, whatever energy spent worth it. The vision to know who you are, without question. The vision to know what you’re fighting for and that it’s worth it. Doing something you are fully passionate about that energizes rather than exercises.
I want that. And I want that for you too.
