When the thought hit me, it didn't sound so much like Dr Seuss wrote it... I feel like Ephesians 2:8,9,and 10 describe the concept so well, I don't have to do anything but receive God's gift of identity. And, then, from that gift, I receive salvation and a purpose... But when I get it backwards and think my WHO (identity) comes from what I DO (role), it seems to make people bristle a bit and they are repulsed from the intent of drawing them closer to God. How do you help people (Ministers especially) operate in their God given identity, rather than find their identity in their current role?
