Where Does Our Identity Come From

I was conversing with an old friend on facebook, and I realized that we were both talking business as if it was our identity and who we are. I was starting to realize that if I was to write a brief biography, the tendency would be to start with my business and career. Thats sad.

My identity comes from who I am in the Lord. After all, He said he knew me in the womb (Psalm 139, verse 13) and that really is when I started to be me and obtain my identity. What about family…doesn’t that identify something about who we are and our Character. Our children’s lives are usually a reflection of the Identity we have passed onto them.

God also said that He numbers the hair on my head (thank goodness I still have lots for Him to count!) and that really tells me that it is not about what I have accomplished, but how much the Lord has accomplished in my life. That is my TRUE identity.

Kind Regards,
