Identity

Where does your identity lie? Some of us are so quick to spout out the answer, “Jesus!”.  Ok great.  But is that really where your identity lies?  Who do you find your greatest satisfaction in? Do your actions, thoughts, and words reflect your answer?  Do you base your self worth on how many “likes” your picture or status gets on Facebook?  Does your identity lie in whether or not you have a boyfriend/girlfriend or if you are friends with the “popular” kids? Whether or not people tell you look pretty?  I can promise you that that person or thing will let you down.  When your identity lies in any of the above things or anything other than God, it is completely insecure. Honestly, I’ve been guilty of saying it and not meaning it too. Fix your eyes on Jesus! Only HE can give you that peace and rest in who you are.  He doesn’t change.  Be satisfied with HIM and HIM alone! Chase Him because the LOVE that he has for you is indescribable, unconditional, and vast!  Place your identity in him.  It’s not a one time thing, but a daily choice.  Don’t let what people say or do become what you base your self worth on.  You are a treasured child of God.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
