reminders

there are some moments that i need to stop and remind myself--i am not my own. my mind, my affections belong to Jesus. my career, my gifts, and talents belong to Him. my hopes, dreams, desires, and purpose belong to Him. my future, my time, and my thoughts belong to Him. and whenever things don't feel right, again, i remind myself--my emotions belong to Him, and would He help set my mind right.
You would think that giving so much of oneself away would be robbing ourselves of what we as humans take pride in--our identity and the core of our uniqueness and human beings. we've been taught to choose a name we want to make for ourselves, so that we could stand out, and make a difference in this world. but the more i give away, the more i find myself content with being nothing more than a part of something greater than all that i ever could've become on my own.
