Discovering Your True Identity
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." - Psalm 139:13-14
Have you ever been asked the simple question: Who are you? Not what you have, not where you've been, but who you truly are at your core. It's a question that invites us to explore the depths of who we really are and to uncover who God made us to be.
In a world often fixated on appearances and external achievements, it's easy to fall into the trap of defining ourselves by what we do or what we possess. The car we drive, the job we hold, the neighborhood we reside in—they all become markers of our identity. But are they truly who we are?
It's a mistake that many make—to tie their sense of self to temporary things. When we define ourselves solely by our profession, position, or possessions, we build our identity on shaky ground. These things are fleeting, subject to change, and can vanish in an instant. Who we are is not limited to our external roles. It's a combination of our experiences, passions, values, and character.
Our true identity is rooted in our relationship with God. It's about the love we give, the kindness we show, and the integrity that guides our actions. These are the elements that define us, shaping the legacy we leave behind.
So, as we reflect on the question "Who are you?" Let's remember that it's not about the labels society may place on us. It's about the depth of our character, the authenticity of our actions, and the essence of our soul. When we ground our identity in the unchanging truth of God's love, we discover a firm foundation that transcends the fleeting nature of worldly possessions.
