Remember who you are

You know, wherever you go-remember who you are. Remember that you have been created in God's image and for his expressed purposes. Yes, you have flaws- we all do. Many are lies that we have believed but there is a you that God created and that is your goal along the journey to be the best you you can be.

The image that comes to mind is from an old movie, The Dark Crystal. All was well and peace and balance ruled the land until one day the crystal broke and what was a balance whole became two ruling sets of creatures, the noble and just Mystics (they moved around like giant moles) and the evil Skeksis (who stood tall yet grotesque). The land could not be whole again until the one shard of the crystal was replaced. The evil Skeksis gained control and refused to give it up, thus banishing the noble Mystics out and away. The thing about it is when one Skeksis died, so did one Mystic. A little Gelfing raised by the Mystics set out to find crystal shard and restore. Enough of the background.

As the Gelfing's journey neared completion and everything lined up with the planets, the Mystics began the long journey home. When the crystal was restored the Mystics began to walk upright and the Skeksis shed the grotesque look and each one was blended to a mystic and restored to a magnificent glowing balanced self.

Now to the image: As you walk your journey each leg of your journey restores you to who you are created to be. Each leg of your journey bring you closer to that final destination when you hear "well done." Some legs of the journey will not be easy, but all will be doable. You must realize that you are on a journey and you are not alone. Listen as Holy Spirit guides. Remember who you are. enough for now.
