There are a lot of things that contribute to who we are as a person. Our DNA, our surroundings, our schooling and our upbringing are all contributing factors that have blended together in shaping and forming our identity. However, when we received the spirit of God, our identity changed.  We became children of God, filled with the holy spirit and eternally able to enjoy communion with God in a close personal way.
 
We now have a choice; will I see myself as God has made me to be or do I still see myself through the eyes of the five senses?
As we choose to walk as sons and daughters of God we open ourselves up to walk in the footsteps of our Lord, Jesus Christ. That is the REAL you!
