I could go on to explain how much I love tea and traveling, or how excited I am to go back to college this fall to study and learn, but it isn't these things that define who I am; it's my relationship with Jesus Christ that totally, and completely defines me.
Sometimes when life becomes overwhelming, I forget who I am...and when I forget who I am, ultimately...I feel lost, confused, and alone.
So, I did some research. I asked God: God, who am I? and He answered to me through my little pink Bible.
I am...
Christ's friend,
Blessed,
Forgiven,
Free from condemnation,
Given the mind of Christ,
A new creation,
A temple of God,
A member of Christ's body,
A citizen of Heaven,
Rescued from Satan's domain,
A child of light,
A stranger of this world,
Victorious,
Delivered,
Protected,
Persevering,
Overcoming,
Safe,
Set free,
United with other believers,
Growing,
His disciple,
Not alone,
Dead to sin,
Strong,
A servant,
Completed by God,
Possessing peace, hope, and a purpose.
I am adopted as His child. :)

ReplyDeleteSo, so true. Seeing ourselves through God's eyes changes so much about how we think about our identity. Very much enjoyed reading :)
