Identity, Yours, Mine, and Ours
Identity is such an interesting concept. Identity, who you are. The definition of you. I know my identity is in Christ, but sometimes it feels like I don't actually believe it. I try to find my identity in my looks, or in people, or a guy. I constantly have to remind myself to find myself in God, not things of the world. We were knitted together in our mothers wombs by the hand of God, the Creator, we are made up of Him! Things in our life, mine speaking of, have changed what identity I think I have. I strive too hard to be what everyone wants me to be, and it has always back fired on me, and ends up being exactly what I was trying to avoid, because I shouldn't be what everyone else wants, I need to be what God wants, and be how he Created me to be. This is probably the hardest thing for me to do in my life. I have been through some rough stuff that has reshaped my life, personality, and socialness. I find myself acting a different way around certain people to "fit" in, and that bothers me more than anything. I'm trusting God to help me be confident in who I am, because He sees me perfectly. Yes, there are a lot of things that I need to work on with myself, because someone told me there is always room for improvement, and I know I can strive to be better. My identity really isn't mine, it's God, I live for Him, not myself.
