Do you remember the movie "The Lion King"? It tells the story of a young lion who is the son of the king. The lion runs away when his father is accidentally killed and the cub is made to feel responsible for that death. He takes refuge with a pair of insectivores, and we see the king of the beasts reduced to a life of eating bugs. Then at one point his dead father appears to him (if any are concerned by this, remember that this is a movie about animals that talk!) and says to him, "Remember who you are." He had forgotten who he was. He wasn’t a bug eater. He was the son of the king.
God says the same thing to us: "Remember who you are." We are to live as sons of the king.
