We need to understand our identity in God. The definition for identity is who a person is, or who a person defines their being as. For example, who am i? I identify myself as a women of God. The bible is full of scriptures that tell us who God says we are. Jesus is the evident reason that we have new life. Now if we accept Jesus as our Lord and savior we are called new creations. We are called sons and daughters, free, loved, forgiven, etc. In Galatians 3:26 : For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. This is so beautiful guys, if you believe in Jesus Christ you are now a child of God!!! You know how amazing that is, i speak out of experience. Its been about 12 years since i’ve accepted the Lord as my savior. I can tell you its been the best thing i could have ever done. Obviously there are ups and downs, following Christ isn’t easy. But i can tell you i am a way better person now that i have him in my heart truly. I used to be such a lonely, sad, depressed, empty, etc little girl. I was always looking for acceptance, joy, love in all the wrong places. Until God took me out of the pit that i was in. I think the acceptance part was the biggest part of my life. I was always trying to be what others wanted me to be. I did things to make other people happy. But i did all this because i had no identity. I did not know who i was, i was very lost. To me my name/my being had no meaning. Until God rescued me, he renamed me, he healed me, he transformed me, he lifted me up, he called me, and he heard me. Now i don’t look for myself in other people. I am not going to lie, because i would try to find my identity in other people for so long, sometimes its hard. Sometimes i find myself trying to please others, but God instantly reminds me and brings me back to him. The more you understand he is the one who gives you identity because he created you, the less you care about being what others want you to be. Instead you focus on pursuing and being the person God created you to be. I’ve had to learn the hard way, we put our identity on ever-changing people. If we put our identity on people we will go crazy, like i used to. People’s opinion about you is alwaysssss changing! People can like you today and tomorrow completely not like you anymore. But you know what God says, he is the same today, yesterday and forever. Meaning the way he feels about you is the same alwaysss! He doesn’t change his mind about how he feels about you and sees you. He is madly in love with his creation, he created us for his pleasure, glory and honor. I thank God he doesn’t see me the way others see me. The truth will always be that man will fail you, but God never does. Thats why we have to put our whole lives in him. We have to accept and believe what God says about us. We are not what the world says we are. We accept a lot of labels that society and this world like to attach to our name. I would almost say that we do this because of ignorance. We don’t read the word enough, if we did we would understand our identity fully. Being a child of God brings so much to you…. Your new name is favored, an heir, loved, wanted, equipped, capable, forgiven, healed, holy, transformed, a daughter and son of God. I don’t know about you guys, but that gives me peace. But along side of understanding this, is actually being it. You aren’t a true Christian; follower of Christ if you don’t act like you are all these things. Jesus came to free us but do we act free? God in his word is clear.. faith without works is dead and also you will know someone by their fruits. You can say all you want, but what will really back you up is your actions…

My prayer for you guys today is that you guys really understand your identity in God. That you guys know you are so loved and wanted. I also pray that you guys read more of the word of God so that you can understand what your identity of being a child of God entails. All the blessings, declarations and promises that God states towards your beautiful life.

If he renamed me, he can for sure give you a new name…
