Identity Crisis
I’ve felt a shift. Have you? We are looking here, there, and everywhere to find our identity. We are grasping at many things to align ourselves with. Gender, sexual preference, political party, likes, dislikes, alumni, nationality, racial profile, what we stand for, what we hate. I’ve noticed that we are looking everywhere to find our identity except the one place where our identity truly resides.
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27
Our lives are in constant conflict because we are grasping at sand and it’s slipping through our fingers faster then we can grip it. Our identity doesn’t reside in anything in this world. Our identity resides in Christ.

I had a dream about a month ago. I looked out my back door and saw someone straddling my back fence. I heard God telling the person that it was time to pick sides. No longer could this person ride both sides. She had to choose. God or not God.
I believe we are at a turning point in history. We have been given an opportunity to choose: God or no God. When you choose God, your identity is secure. You no longer have to question who you are or what you align with. You are His and you align with Truth.
"This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" 2 Corinthians 5:17
Are you tired? Exhausted? Me too. Do you know that you have a choice? You don’t have to wonder or question who you are. You are His. You are so deeply loved. He formed ever bit of you. He created you with a purpose for a purpose. You have an identity. Your identity is in Christ.
You have an identity. Your identity is in Christ.
