Who Told You That...?

I remember a time when I was in elementary school and I came home upset and my mom asking me why and I told her "because the kids at school said I was fat." She then asked the question "who told you that you were fat?" I didn't dare tell her that I was honestly the instigator of the whole thing and that I told one kid he was fat, which was where it all started to go down hill. God similarly asks Adam the same question, but with a slightly different twist, "who told you that you were naked?" It is quite honestly a brilliant question. But maybe you need to fill in with a different subject? Like, who told you that you were stupid? Who told you that you would never amount to much? Who told you that you are gay? Who told you that you are... ? Another great question though does come back to you though and it actually falls back on the beginning of the situation, your positioning. What got you in the position to where that subject even came from? Are you hanging out with the wrong people? Were you simply doing something you know you ought not do? What? Ultimately the answer to the question will actually show where your heart is at. But what can change this entire situation is where you find your identity and who you are listening to. What is God calling you? How does he identify you? Maybe you could follow him and you wouldn't have to worry about what the enemy wants you to believe but you will, instead place your focus on the One who does care and is the one who asks the very question "Who told you that..."
