Sometimes, the only way you can find yourself; is to start all over.

"glycoproteins"

Today I sat at work with a text book in front of me and a package of notes I was trying to understand. I was trying to understand the "Anatomy of Cells." I don't know about you, but I always hated in high school having to memorize the structure and functions of a cell. So why am I putting myself through this in College? If it's a calling from God, I'm not really sure anymore. God works in mysterous ways, and we need to trust in him to make our paths straight.

As I was reading a page from my textbook, I read a fact; "Glycoproteins act as "tags" in the cell so that the cells can be recognized by other cells." At this moment, a thought had entered my mind. A thought that I was sure was from God. I rewinded for a second and reread the fact about glycoprotiens, and again had kept the same thought. From here I wasn't sure what God was saying, was I really reading about the anatomy of cells, or was I now reading about an obvious life for jesus and walking in the presence of God. How do these two things come hand in hand?

I tried to put the pieces together. This is what I got when the puzzle was actually complete.

So pretend you are a glycoprotein, now what is your purpose?
Your purpose is to act as tags in the cells so that the cells can be recognized by others. Here is the ultimate question; as a human, How do other people recognize you? What does your tag say about you, that makes you recognizable for others? What have you allowed your tag to say?

In reality their are a ton of things that could be written on your tag, a ton of things people recognize you by. In biology a red blood cell would have a tag saying "red blood cell" so that other cells could recognize it by others. Now in life, our tags are a little different than in the case of biology, tags such as : actress, musician, and artist are some examples. Or we may have allowed other things to be our tags.
There are also tags that other people have stuck on us, like a sticky note on the back of your shirt saying "kick me," only we are completely oblivious and unaware that it is there.
Tags like: whore, slut, weak, fat, too skinny, ignorent, stuck up, dumb, gay, jesus freak, ugly or bible thuper.
Those are not who you are, those are not tags that are supposed to be recognizable by others. These in fact are all lies from the enemy. A tag that the enemy has stuck on your back, and a tag that you have believed in.

Now on a different note, lets talk about how this relates to a christian, a follower of God.
Again, What does your tag say?
Do people recognize you as a son or daughter of christ, who will lay anything and everything down. and surrender everything for one thing; their mighty and powerful father in heaven?

Or do people read your tag as a christian who isn't different from the world at all, a christian who is still stuck in the vision of the world and has avoided the vision of God. A person living 2 different lifes all at one time. One who is hiding their identity in christ through out the week, and then on sunday laying it all down?

"Glycoproteins act as "tags" in the cell so that cells can be recognized by others."
So what does your tag say, how are you percieved by others?

A child of God should have a tag, one very apparent for people to recognize. It should be obvious that you love Jesus, and you surrender your all to him. It should be apparent that you have a firm and loving walk with God. This kind of tag should not be hidden, it should not be tucked away during the week and brought out on sunday services, this tag should be visible 24/7 for the world to see. This tag isnt just a statement, It's not just proof, this tag is hope, love, freedom, grace, comfort, and faith. So don't hide it from the lost and hungry world surrounding you.

Remember, "What ever you lose in this world, you gain in the kingdom." Weither that be friends, or family, no matter what; a loss in this world is another gain in the kingdom.

What do you want your tag to say?
How do you want people to recognize you?
