Who am I?
Well... Let me see.
Just give me a sec, would ya?
Sometimes, being a Missionary on Facebook can be really distracting. You see all your friends doing all these cool things, going to college, parties, getting married, and doing some really cool things with their lives. But the thing that I've noticed as I scroll through my News Feed day to day is the overwhelming confusion I see. People are always trying to "Find" themselves. They want to be comfortable, yet unique. They want to fit in, yet stand out. They want to be included in an exclusive world. The world starts to dictate their lives by showing them the World's way to popularity and fame and acceptance. Having to look a certain way, dress a certain way, have just the right body type, the right hair, do the "right" things. Movies, TV, music, and everything else in this world shows us who we "need to be to fit in". What seems innocent at first starts to become a weight, which so often times becomes a burden that is impossible to carry. And then, after being trodden on and beaten down, completely depressed from trying to live the World's ridiculous standards, the World will come to us and say, "Isn't it great to be accepted for being yourself?"
Tragically, this to often happens. We forget who we are we look for it else where. The people we meet will say there is no God, because God wouldn't allow these things to happen to us. We lose our divine identity. We forget the truth.
What's the solution?
Well, we need to remember who we are.

I am a firm believer that everything in this world is a metaphor that shows us how God works, or the adversary. Everything that is in the world helps us to know how God really works, at least I like to think so. Things like DNA. Think about your DNA for a second. Every strand of DNA is the code for a part of your body. These codes form genes, which determine the characteristics of your body. In this case, everyone is different and unique, but these characteristics and genes come from our parents.
That being said, I like to think that our Spirits work the same way. We all are spirit children of God, the Almighty Creator of the Universe. He is our Father. So wouldn't we also, by the same line of thinking, have Spiritual DNA? And wouldn't our Spiritual genetics come from Him? We have God-like Characteristics, we have what you could call a Divine Nature. We can do things that we never thought imaginable. Yes, just like our physical DNA is unique to us, so is our Spiritual Identities. This is who we are. We are divine offspring of our Eternal Father and God. We have abilities and talents that we have received from our Heavenly Father. We can do anything that we want.
Its in our DNA.
