A Reminder of Your Identity in Christ

If I could write you a letter ….

My dear one, may I have a moment where my heart can speak deeply to yours?

So much happens in this life journey that attempts to define who you are. I see it in your face. You carry insecurity, doubt, shame, guilt, sorrow, confusion, frustration, hopelessness, and more. God never intended you to live that way. He had, or should I say has, so much more for you. Don’t listen to the lies that have been spoken over you. Don’t listen to the reminders of your regretful decisions. And, don’t let your past pain define you.

As you walk from repentance to salvation, you’ve been ushered into redemption and wholeness.  From the beginning of time, your loving Creator sculpted your very being into existence.  There was no mistake.  You are no accident. You were destined to shine, so when people see your life, they will be introduced to the glory of God. Your identity does not come from what you have or have not done.  Your identity does not come from what you feel.  Your true identity can only come from your Creator.

How your Heavenly Father longs to pull you into His loving arms, wipe away every tear, every hurt, every feeling of shame and guilt, and restore you to His righteousness. He patiently waits for you to seek Him and allow Him to reshape you into the individual you were created to be. Don’t fear Him, don’t run from Him, for He is so very good.  He delights in you and longs to see you walk into the beautiful purposes He has for you.  As your Creator, He knows you better than you know yourself.  He knows what you need and what your heart truly longs for.  Trust Him.  Open your heart completely to Him and watch as He gently reminds you of your true identity.
