Isaiah 43:1b
Do not be afraid — I will save you.
I have called you by name — You are mine
My granddaughter will come running from anywhere in the house if she hears Moana. I have to admit, I have become quite addicted to the songs too.
There is one song in particular that is very short, but almost brings me to tears everytime I hear it.
Know Who You Are
I have crossed the horizon to find you
I know your name
They have stolen the heart from inside you
But this does not define you
This is not who you are
You know who you are
***SPOILER ALERT***
The song comes when Moana faces the angry being you are led to believe is the villain of the story. However, Moana has figured out her secret. She is the lost goddess who only became that way when her heart was stolen.
Moana knows who she is and she reminds her this evil is not the real her. She calls her out and replaces her heart. She restores her.
Now this is truly a moving moment. However, I am brought to tears because I can’t help think about God calling me out. Telling me this is not who I am. Restoring my heart. Reminding me whose I am.
God knows who you are and he comes looking for you. He will restore you. Just take a moment and don’t let your circumstance define who you are. Remember whose you are!
