Our culture is bullying, shaming, and using downright deception through our education system, media and our social expectations—even our churches—to teach us that God has sinned against many of us in creating us with the gender He chose. Or that He didn't know what He was doing, which stands to reason since He only had the intelligence and ability to create a Universe of which we can’t even see the boundaries with our most powerful telescopes, much less comprehend. A Universe with more intelligently designed language and machinery at a microscopic level than we can even see or understand, and laws to hold it all together and sustain it that we do not even begin to comprehend yet. As well as miraculously designed bodies and brains with mysteries, wonders, intricacies, and power—of which we have only scratched the surface. And He knew you before you were born, before you were a thought, and He knows your entire future—but He messed up on your gender role. [inset eyeroll].

One of our deepest and most powerful motivations in life is to discover ourselves—find out who we truly are in life. In our current culture, unlike many times of the past, we create our own identity, our own purpose, choose our own path in life, with little guidance or expectation in who we should be, what we should do, even what our gender role may be. Then we work our whole lives trying to build our education, hone our skills and talents, accomplish the right things—so we can be noticed and appreciated, so we can have approval and acceptance from others—for who we have decided we should be as a person. Our constant insecurities and how quickly we are offended when people don’t like or accept us, our constant desire to receive affirmation from others and on social media all show proof of this constant search and need for affirmation of who we think we are. But the reason we are so anxious, unhappy, full of drama, quick to fall into sin, and uncertain of ourselves—even when we seem to be successful and accepted by the world and ourselves—is because in all of our struggles to find ourselves in this world, most of us have entirely missed the most foundational Truth.
