Look inside yourself

SEE YOURSELF SEE YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Joh 1;12 – Child of God MORE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE BECOME You are more than what you have become. Simba - sees himself as his father’s murderer ( IN A SENSE THAT IS WHAT OUR SINS DID TO CHRIST He sees himself as not worthy of the throne He sees himself no longer to walk with Lions but only Pigs and Meerkats ( Rom 3:23 – We have fallen Short from Glory of God)  Pro 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. (AOT) Want soos hy in sy siel bereken, so is hy; eet en drink, sê hy vir jou, maar sy hart is nie met jou nie.  WARNING : Proverbs 4:23 “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.”
