COT: I had a discussion with a loved one, recently, and respecting others’ identities and allowing for people to express themselves without fear of judgement. We should always respect one another as individuals and this is immensely important.
The conversation went on, however, to include stories of people who have struggled with or given up on living because they did not feel like their personal identity was respected by others. This is heartbreaking. There are countless individuals in this world who are looking for their place in this world, but they will never find it. We are here in this world, but we will always end up in despair if we seek meaning only in humanity.
This reminds me of something I would hear all the time from a childhood friend’s mother. When we would go out, My buddy’s mam would say, “Remember whose you are,” and I always took that as a reminder to be good and not being any shame to the family to which she belonged.
In recent years, I’ve realized so much more meaning in that phrase. Remember whose you are. You don’t belong to your school or work or friends or social clubs or even your family. You were not created for or by mortal whims, but of The King. Don’t be afraid. Don’t lose hope. Remember whose you are.
