I read a quote once that said (𝗉𝖺𝗋𝖺𝗉𝗁𝗋𝖺𝗌𝖾𝖽), 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. The quote is a play on words from a translated Confucius quote, a thought provocation on how you view yourself, the nuts and bolts and worth you believe you hold in the core of who you are.
I counter it with this: 𝖶𝖧𝖮 𝖣𝖮𝖤𝖲 𝖦𝖮𝖣 𝖲𝖠𝖸 𝖸𝖮𝖴 𝖠𝖱𝖤? Deep down, what message do you speak over yourself about your identity in Christ?
“𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴, 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘵. 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.”
