Your Identity

What matters most to your identity is not how the world sees you, how
your friends see you or even how you see yourself. What matters most is
how God sees you. Spend time in God's word learning about his
everlasting love for you. From your identity in Christ, understand who
you are from God's viewpoint. 1 John 3:1, how great it is, the love the
father has lavished on us that we should be called children of God and
that it is what we are. Because if you are not sure of your identity or
if your identity is not firmly rooted in God, then you will be easily
swayed and discouraged by what other people say about you. Only with
God's strength will you be able to turn away from the powerful
influences that tell you what you should be. Only the Holy Spirit can
guide you away from the twisted truth about the meaning of success and
self worth. Only your identity as God's beloved child, can protect you
from the pressure to conform to ungodly values. Think about the ways in
which you have allowed the criticisms of non believers to affect your
identity. Seek forgiveness for the times when you have pushed your
Christian identity aside to fit into a group or to avoid ridicule.
Then pray for the Holy Spirit to always remind you of who you are in
Christ and to give you the power to overcome any temptation to wavier in
your identity. God loves you more than you could possibly imagine, no
matter what thought, situation comes your way, nothing can change the
fact that you are a beloved child from God. For I am convinced that
neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor demons, neither the present nor
the future nor powers, nor height, nor death nor anything else in all of
creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in us
through Chris Jesus our lord, Romans 8:38-39.
