Who Are You?

Listen to this blog.

On her forehead a mysterious name was written: I AM THE GREAT CITY OF BABYLON,
THE MOTHER OF EVERY IMMORAL
AND FILTHY THING ON EARTH.
I could tell that the woman was drunk on the blood of God’s people who had given their lives for Jesus. This surprising sight amazed me,

Revelation 17:5-6

In our material things driven world we have come to define a man by what he does to earn a living. The question "Who is that man?" is usually answered with something like, "He is a doctor, lawyer, truck driver or baker."

The true way to define a man is not by what he does to earn money, but by the focus of his life and the purpose of his heart. Jesus was a carpenter, but no one, even His enemies would simply describe Jesus as a carpenter. Jesus did not give His life to the making of things out of wood, although He knew how to do that and probably was quite a craftsman!

The purposes of your heart draw the picture of your life and write the definition of your existence. One of the blessings of unemployment is this: When you strip away your job you are forced to look in the mirror of your life and see what you are really about and who you are. As long as you hang on to description of "unemployed whatever" you may be blinded to your real calling in life.

Jesus wants you to give your life for Him. Jesus wants you to be defined by who He is. Jesus wants to be the reason you get up every morning and go to bed every night. Jesus almost never asks you to change your profession to serve Him, but He always asks you to change who you profess as Lord!

Then, when someone says "What do you do?" the answer will be "Everything I can for Jesus Christ."
