Who Am I? The Power of Identity I often forget who I am. I get sucked in by the lies that tell me I can’t, that I’m not enough. Then I remember whose I am, and it makes all the difference. #1 I am not Led by my Feelings Passion. Anger. Sadness. Joy. Irritation. Apathy. Fear. Worry. Furious. Cheated. Tense. Trapped. Left out. Disappointed. Confused. Puzzled. Frustrated. Aren’t you sick and tired of being led by your emotions? You don’t have to be. You don’t have to react. You are stable – led by truth. #2 I am not my Total Number of Followers and Likes Think you’re cool because you’re liked? Think you’ve made it because you’re friended on facebook? Friends come and friends go, popularity is fleeting. But there’s more. There’s better. You belong – just like you are. #3 I am not my Awesome Accomplishments You have a graduate degree, or five. You’ve won awards and accolades. That’s awesome. But you are more, far more than the number of diplomas on your wall and the accomplishments you’ve achieved. Aren’t you tired of working so hard? Aren’t you tired of keeping it up? You can breathe. You are free – forever #4 I am not my Past Mistakes Stop looking behind you. Stop living in regret. You are more than a series of mishaps, more than your wrong choices. You are purposed by God. You are chosen. The past is forgiven in Christ. You are loved – unconditionally. #5 I am not who People say I am Are you heavily influenced by what others say about you? Do you find yourself elated by man’s praise and defeated by your critics? You can fool people or you can woo them but you’re still much more than what people are saying about you. You are God’s child – beloved. #6 I am not Controlled by my Circumstances Are you a prisoner of your circumstances? Do you feel defeated by closed doors and encouraged by the open ones? You are not controlled by your circumstances. Your Father transforms walls into doors. You are led – by God’s Spirit.
