God gives us our identity before we are even born. We are sons and daughter of him. Because of Jesus sacrifice he made us co-heirs with him.
But when we face problems in life. It’s often easier to run away from our problems. And to believe what others says about us. Instead of staying and fighting for what is ours.
Like in The Lion King. Simba lets Scar take his birth right of ruling Pride Rock. Because he believe the lies Scar says abut him. Simba runs away. He doesn’t fulfill his true purpose until he claims his birth right and stops believing the lies.
We are the same. We can try to find our identity in our work, our friends, our family. But we will never really be fulfilled until we find our identity in Jesus.
