The Image of @

This is one little symbol. One little stroke of the keypad.

But placed before your username, it holds so much power.

@toddruth

I search it out. I tweet with the hopes people will place the all-important "@" in front of my name to tell me how funny I am. To tell others that @toddruth has something valuable to say. 

The "@" is not evil in and of itself. It's extremely useful in connecting and conversating. 

But, far too often the "@" becomes my identity... the thing I search for that gives me value.

And it doesn't stop there.

Other I let other things become my identity... that give me value.

Opinions of others, work, Revolve... these are the real-world "@'s" in my life.

None of these things are evil in and of themselves.

But when I allow my identity to be wrapped up in these things...

I miss the value that God places in me...

Which is infinitely great than the all powerful "@".

So, what are the "@'s" in your life?
