Chapter 6 cont. Who am I?

When Rachel and Samuel are ripped from their parents and their home and thrown into a life of the unknown, they are filled with fear and pain, and Samuel is filled with guilt. It is crushing to them because all they see is their wonderful past and tragic present. Their fear comes because they can only imagine their future based on what they know of themselves at that moment. They know only a fraction of their inherited  identity, and only a fraction of their potential, or their destiny.

If they could turn the pages of this book to see who they really are, and what they will be able to do, they would rise on eagles wings and soar through the trials they faced.

Similarly, if we too, could turn the pages of our story, to see who we really are and what we are capable of, we too, would soar on eagles wings through the tragedies that we face.

I think, like Samuel, some of us are given a taste, a glimpse, just an “itch” that we are greater than we know, that there is more to our souls—our lives—than what we do each day. But do we go to the correct source to find those answers?

If Samuel had gone to his father to discover his true identity and his purpose and destiny, his life could have avoided much tragedy, sorrow and guilt. How many of us turn to the world to find our destiny, when instead, we could avoid the pains of the world by going straight to our Father who will open our eyes to see the incredible son or daughter of  God that we are, made in His likeness, with His gifts, born with a destiny beyond our greatest dreams.

So, these are just my thoughts. What are yours? . . .
