If we know who we are in God it alters the course of our lives.  Claiming our origin and our connection to God not only allows us to step into our power but it keeps us from falling prey to the false beliefs about identity in the world.  We are men, women, sons, daughters, spouses, employees, bosses, Italian, Mexican, White, Black, Asian, and all the various labels we have for ourselves.  There is nothing untrue about claiming those origins and labels.  But they only represent part of the picture.  No one cultural line or role in life can define you.  No racial identity speaks of the magnificence of your spirit.  More often than not, it can be limiting.  We make assumptions about where we are supposed to be and with whom or how we are supposed to act or places not to go based on the world’s definition of us.  God does not live by limits.  God wants us to expand our horizons past the limiting perspective of the world and open ourselves up to experience love and growth in ways outside the confines of what is culturally or genderally acceptable.  Claiming our connection to God is the first step in this direction.  In the declaration of our hearts speaks the relationship of truth so we can love past the limits of what our world tells us defines love.
