Topic: Bondage

Notes:
- Funhouse mirrors distort who you really are
- Who have you allowed to define you?  The world?  The Church?  You?  Moral Failure? (Doubting Thomas)
- Jesus never let anyone define who He is.
- It doesn’t matter what they say about you, even if it’s true.  When Jesus  saves you, none of that is a factor anymore
- I know who my father is and who I am in Him
- In the world you have to do before you are, but in the kingdom you are something before you ever do anything
- “... my beloved son in whom I am well pleased”
- Using any other mirror, you will have a wrong conception of who you are; we’re looking at ourselves through twisted mirrors
- God doesn’t define you; He identifies you.
- Now I am a child of God; I will never be fixed, but I will always be His
