Titles shape people, circumstances, actions and things. Have you ever asked yourself, are you truly being authentic or just aligning with your title? What you do for work or the role you play does not define you.
In my life, I fell into living up to my title. Let me tell you, it wasn’t worth it. I burned out quickly and became very bitter. Not a fun time in life for me or my family until God stepped in. Due to a change in roles, God humbled me. When I say humbled, he broke me down to the house studs which made me realize that serving and giving to others and living up to who he made me to be was much more important than aligning with a title.
In Galatians 3:28, we are reminded, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Understanding the impact of titles helps us break free from the constraints they impose. While titles can provide a sense of identity and purpose, they can also limit our potential. We often get caught up in societal expectations tied to our titles, losing sight of our true selves and capabilities.
Reflect on your own life: Are you living authentically, or are you confined by the roles assigned to you? It’s essential to differentiate between what you do and who you are. Your worth isn’t determined by your job title, social status, or any other label. Embrace the unique qualities and talents that make you who you are, beyond any title.
Titles can affect how we perceive and interact with others. By looking beyond labels, we can build deeper, more meaningful connections. Treat everyone with respect and kindness, recognizing their inherent value.
While titles can serve a purpose, they shouldn’t define or limit us. Strive to live authentically, embracing your true identity. Remember, you are more than a title, and your value comes from above.
Be empowered, you are loved by God and a beautiful creation. Until next time, take care of yourself and others. 💜💜
