A question I find myself asking quite often
Am I defined by my achievements or my failures? Am I defined by how I view myself, or am I defined by how other people label me? Am I just another college student, friend, and daughter in the world, or am I more than that? Am I the mistakes that I have made or the aspirations I have? Am I the sum of each of these things, or am I none of these things?
Who am I?
When I open my Bible, I find my true identity.
I am loved. 1 John 4:10
I am redeemed and forgiven. Colossians 1:14
I am God's masterpiece. Ephesians 2:10
I am chosen to bear fruit. John 15:16
I am a citizen of Heaven. Philippians 3:20
I am holy and blameless. Ephesians 1:4
I am never alone. Hebrews 13:5
I am Christ's ambassador. 2 Corinthians 5:20
I am a salt and light of the world. Matthew 5:13-14
I am victorious. 1 John 5:4
I am chosen to be loved. Colossians 3:12
I am born again. 1 Peter 1:23
I am a child of God. John 1:12
Satan is and always will be a liar. He is the master of deception, and he attacks us constantly with doubts and lies about our identities. We are often told we are worthless, unloved, and unforgivable, but God's Word tells us otherwise. It is our choice to listen to the lies of the enemy or to replace those lies with the Truths we can find in God's Word. Our lives reflect the thoughts we keep about ourselves. So when we continually feed our minds with negative thoughts and lies, our lives will produce fruits of the sinful nature. However when we feed our minds with God's Truth, our lives reflect the life that Jesus died to give us, and we produce fruits of the Spirit.
You are more than the lies of this world, and you are more than the sum of your mistakes and failures. You are MORE because You are LOVED by the King of Kings and your Heavenly Father. So today I encourage you to start feeding your mind with Truths found in God's Word and to start ignoring the lies of the enemy.
