Know Whose You Are

1 John 3:1, See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are.”

The truth is sometimes we forget who we belong to. we forget that God alone gives us our identity. If we dig a little deeper and answer with complete honesty the question of who we are, our answers include these responses: I am someone who struggles with losing the same ten pounds; sometimes I respond in fear rather than faith; I can be selfish and not want to serve others; I’ve made mistakes in the past and can carry them around like a ball and chain.

The truth is that sometimes we let our past, our feelings, and others’ disapproval of us define us; rather than letting God and His Word define who we are.

However, the closer I grow to the Lord over the past few months, the more I understand that those other definitions are lies, not the truth. God’s enemy, Satan, is a liar who wants to keep me from walking in the truth. The truth of who I am is found in God’s Word. I know who I am when I know Whose I am.

Let these statements remind you of who you are and Whose you are:

Nothing can separate you from God’s love (Romans 8: 35 – 39).
You are God’s work of art, His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10).
God does not condemn you (Romans 8: 1,2).
God loves you so much that the price He paid to have a relationship with you was His own life (1 Corinthians 6: 20).
Jesus is your Daddy (Romans 8:15).

God’s love for us is everlasting and unfailing. He wants us to have a relationship with Him where we grow closer to Him and look more like Him as we abide in His truth. Rest in the truth that His steadfast love never fails.

Let us pray...
Dear Father, I am so thankful that I am Your child and that You love me. I am thankful that Your love never changes and that nothing will take Your love away from me. Open my eyes to any lies I’m believing about myself and my life. Help me to believe only You – not Satan, not my feelings, not what anyone else says. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
