Identity

When you hear "I.D." you automatically think of a government issued form of identification that says your name, date of birth, country you're from and etcetera. IDs are used to validate who you are as a person. No ID. No identification. Simple as that.

Identity goes beyond just a government issued ID. It's who you are as an individual. It's who you were created to be. If you believe something, you identify yourself with that label and validate it with whatever everyone else says. I believe I can't drive because I identify myself as a bad driver & had it validated by other people in my life.

So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
(Genesis 1:27 NLT)

For a long time I had trouble figuring out who I was and how I fit in this life. I was searching for an identity. I identified myself as so many things and never found the answer in any of those labels. Until I lost my grandma two years ago and I realized the only constant in life is God. Family titles, surnames, villages, school, work even church all disappears or leaves eventually and all I'll have left is God.

I found my identity in God that day. I now believe I am a daughter of the King because I identify myself as one through Jesus and it has been clearly validated in God's Word. "...it is Christ who lives in me...I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself to save me." (Galatians 2:20 NCV) What's your identity?
