My Journey to Embracing My Divine Identity
This was a question that came to mind this morning. I woke up this morning at 4:15 am and just began to pray. I began to worship the Lord, and I saw myself dancing….like I used to over 20 years ago. I turned on this song called “Seen” by AD3, and it began to minister to my heart. Initially, I was just lying down, but then the words spoke to my spirit, and I began to dance again, and it turned into worship before the Lord. Choosing to walk in divine purpose changed everything. I began to feel chains fall off of me through music and dance (through what I like to call Creative Expression/Expressive Creativity).
Creative Expression is:
“The ability to use our minds and imaginations to create something that represents ourselves.
There are countless ways to express ourselves creatively, whether through music, visual art, crafting, writing, photography, drama, or movement. People of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life benefit from the creative process.
Creativity helps us relate to each other, address obstacles and challenges in our lives, and even remember how to play! It can be difficult to authentically express who we are, but creative expression helps us open to new possibilities.
Most importantly, creative expression can lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves.
The language that lives in the heart and the spirit. It’s the language that emerges when you find the safety to really listen to your heart.” – Cathy Salser, Founder and Executive Director of A Window Between Worlds
Creativity is not necessarily art, nor is it representative of any particular skill.
It is simply the mental capacity to use your imagination and find joy through personal expression, allowing us the freedom to let go and see what happens. – The Inner Work Center“
I know that the Lord has called me to be a feminine expression of a warrior in His Kingdom, and he has loaded me with all these talents, which I have allowed to be pint up for quite some time because the heaviness of this life began to overwhelm me. But the Lord began to gently remind me that his hand has been on me before I ever entered my mother’s womb.
This song was a gentle reminder that the Love of God has been pursuing me all this time, and it has been wooing me to rest and abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91). It’s in HIM that we can carry out the assignment we’ve been given. Outside of Him, we are nothing.
5 Truths to Help You Walk Boldly in Your Calling
-
You were never meant to fit in—you were born to stand out.
- Your uniqueness isn’t a flaw—it’s a feature of your divine identity. In a world that often rewards conformity, standing out can feel uncomfortable, but it’s in your difference that your light shines brightest. God didn’t create you to blend in—He created you to be the salt and the light (Matthew 5:13–16). Your voice, your story, and your presence carry power when you own your authenticity.
-
Your difference is part of your divine design.
- That thing that made you feel “too much” or “not enough” is often the very thing God wants to use. Your sensitivity, your creativity, your discernment—none of it is by accident. You were intentionally handcrafted for a sacred assignment that only you can fulfill. When you embrace your difference instead of diminishing it, you unlock the very key to your purpose.
-
God equips those He calls
- You don’t have to have it all figured out before saying “yes.” God doesn’t wait until you’re perfect—He equips you in the process. Every experience, every trial, and every moment of surrender becomes part of your spiritual training ground. Where you feel weak, His strength is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9). You can trust that if He called you to it, He will sustain you through it.
- Obedience to God’s voice leads to overflow.
- Your surrender unlocks supernatural alignment. You don’t have to force doors to open – when you walk in purpose, God makes a way.
- You are the answer to someone’s prayer.
- There are lives attached to your “yes.” When you embrace your unique calling, you become the vessel God uses to bring healing, clarity, and hope to others.
If you feel that there is this tug on your heart to go in a direction that seems too much for you to carry, I want to encourage you to surrender to His love. It doesn’t matter what you did, God’s love is unconditional and it requires a willingness to surrender to Christ by asking for forgiveness of your sins and accepting Him into your heart and take it a step further, allow yourself to be baptized in Jesus Name and open your heart to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit so your mind, heart and soul can be transformed.
