He encourages you to consider the following questions:1. Which one of these do you identify with the most, a slave of Christ, a servant of Christ, a Child of God, a friend of God or a priest as part of His Kingdom?2. Which one of the above titles do you struggle to identify with? Can you reform your image of God without the impact of your earthly father?3. Why is each role easy or hard? Look back at your life and ask God where are my wounds, were is my pride, what are my fears that are keeping me from greater responsibility?
