I don’t really care how I look. It drives my wife crazy. One time I came down the stairs because we were going to the store… I had mustard colored shorts on, a green shirt, a brown plaid scarf and a baseball cap, I was unshowered and had about 4 days of beard on my mug… she took a picture of me and posted it on facebook saying “thats right ladies, he’s all mine”. 

 

How does Jesus see you?

 

If your response was anything less than forgiven, righteous, Holy, blameless, gifted and as a man of God then you need a check up from the neck up.

 

Have you ever noticed people are better motivated living up to what you say they are rather than what you say they are not. 

 

I will never forget the power of this moment in my own life. I was a chunky kid who went out for YMCA Basketball. I was not real good at it but each game and each practice I got better. My Coach Mr. Collins was a fantastic teacher. Well our team went to the championship game and we won! I played about 5 minutes in the whole game but was still ecstatic that we won. The very next morning I went out to play basketball in the neighborhood and as we were picking teams one of the boys said we want Garth he won the championship and he is really good. Then the other boys started fighting if you get Garth then we get these two guys to make it fair… I was a little stunned, but that was the day I played like a champion because people expected it of me.

 

God expects you to play life like a champion, because that is how he sees you. 

 

Ephesians 2:10

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

1 John 3:1 

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

1 Peter 2:9 

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

 

My Dad tells the story of when he was a young man an insurance claims guy came to the house because a Warren Heckman had been killed. My Dad said “I am Warren Heckman”. The guy turned pale white. Well of course it was a mistaken identity… There were 2 Warren Heckman’s. one was hot and the other cold.

How many of us are living with the wrong identity. I was once challenged with this thought years ago “what would the best Garth Heckman do”.  I challenge you today with the almost exact same thought but I will rephrase it. What would the best Man of God do… thats you- so go do it!
