IDENTITY CRISIS

Proverbs 24:12
Don't try to avoid responsibility by saying you didn't
know about it.
For God knows all hearts, and he sees you.
He keeps watch over your soul, and
he knows you knew!
And he will judge all people according to what they have done.

There was an incident many years ago about Lawrence Bader. For seven years, eight months, and twenty days, Bader became John “Fritz” Johnson. As Johnson, Bader ascended at KETV-TV in Omaha Nebraska to become the station sports director and also had a wife and two children in Omaha. A family friend of the Bader family spotted "Fritz" at a sports show in Chicago and alerted his family in Ohio. Fingerprinting confirmed that Bader and Johnson were one and the same. Bader had apparently disappeared into Cleveland, OH after heading a small boat out into storm-tossed Lake Erie and was presumed drowned when he didn’t turn up. He plead that he had no knowledge of his past in Akron, Ohio, where he was the son of a prominent dentist and the father of four children. Despite the fingerprint evidence, Bader insisted that he could not remember his old life. The Bible says in Psalm 139:13, “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.” God already knows who you are; just allow Him to help you find out who you truly are. Certainly, you don't want to find yourself running away from who you truly are.
