Who AM I?

What is your identity? Do you ever think "I am a mechanic", "I am a doctor", "I am a mother", "I am divorced", "I am a teenager", "I am an extrovert", "I am a lover of fried chicken"? These things are not our identity if we know Jesus.  

They define our life, not identify it. 

I may be single, I may be a 22 year old chica, I may be a new missionary, I may have suffered in my past, I may teach, I may struggle with sin, I may love serving children, and I may love peanut m&m's and coffee late at night.  These things describe me, but my IDENTITY- it is in Christ.  How often do I forget that fact? How often do we forget that fact?  How often do we forget that our identity is not in what WE are doing each day, but rather in what He so graciously, and beautifully did for US? When we recognize what He did and who we are, then we can go out and live this crazy life. 


Stop trying to find that one thing that makes you YOU- your job, your personality, your friends, your passions, your successes, or your failures. Jesus is that THING.  He wants to be that THING that makes you YOU. Isn't He awesome enough to be it? 

Isn't He AWESOME enough to be your identity?
