Mirror

James 1:22-25(CEV)
²²Obey God’s message! Don’t fool yourselves by just listening to it.
²³If you hear the message and don’t obey it, you are like people who stare at themselves in a mirror
²⁴and forget what they look like as soon as they leave.
²⁵But you must never stop looking at the perfect law that sets you free. God will bless you in everything you do, if you listen and obey, and don’t just hear and forget.

Do we know people like this or are we like this? Forgotten who we really are? Kings Kids! We were created to rule and reign on the earth to have dominion, but somewhere along the way we have been tricked into thinking we are something less. It all started in the Garden, we were tricked into thinking we were something less that we were. We never really lost who we were we just forgot. I believe it is part of our mission (Susan & I) in this era of  time to help other regain who they are to quit believing the lie that they, YOU! are something less than you are. Jesus came paid the price for us to be fully restored into the place God had set up for us in the beginning. God told Adam (man & woman) to subdue the earth and to multiple on it. well they did half of it the multiplied but forgot to subdue it or to take dominion of it. We have been given the authority and privilege to be rulers not only of our selves but of this planet. It's time to stand up and be recognized as the Son's of God that all of creation has been anxiously waiting for us to be. Today look in the Mirror of God, His Word the Bible and remember who you are. We Can Do It! We can change the world! Go be a blessing today, Sir Gregory

Ps. I read this blog from John Eldredge that fits so well it was taken from his book "The Sacred Romance" 

We Have All Forgotten What We Really Are

We are not what we were meant to be, and we know it. If, when passing a stranger on the street, we happen to meet eyes, we quickly avert our glance. Cramped into the awkward community of an elevator, we search for something, anything to look at instead of each other. We fear to be seen. But think for a moment about the millions of tourists who visit ancient sites like the Parthenon, the Colosseum, and the Pyramids. Though ravaged by time, the elements, and vandals through the ages, mere shadows of their former glory, these ruins still awe and inspire. Though fallen, their glory cannot be fully extinguished. There is something at once sad and grand about them. And such we are. Abused, neglected, vandalized, fallen-we are still fearful and wonderful. We are, as one theologian put it, "glorious ruins." But unlike those grand monuments, we who are Christ's have been redeemed and are being renewed as Paul said, "day by day," restored in the love of God.

Could it be that we, all of us, the homecoming queens and quarterbacks and the passed over and picked on, really possess hidden greatness? Is there something in us worth fighting over? The fact that we don't see our own glory is part of the tragedy of the Fall; a sort of spiritual amnesia has taken all of us. Our souls were made to live in the Larger Story, but as Chesterton discovered, we have forgotten our part:

We have all read in scientific books, and indeed, in all romances, the story of the man who has forgotten his name. This man walks about the streets and can see and appreciate everything; only he cannot remember who he is. Well, every man is that man in the story. Every man has forgotten who he is. . . . We are all under the same mental calamity; we have all forgotten our names. We have all forgotten what we really are. (Orthodoxy)
