What is Your True Identity?

When asked who you are, what is the first answer you will give?
Definitely, your name, role or title is going to feature
That is what identifies you easily, I must say

But as I grow, I am continually convinced there is more to self than just a name, the family you come from or the role you play in society.

Each day we hear the stories of Depression
Read essays on the Inferiority complex
Admire victories of Self Discovery
Motivational message rehashing their key points; 'You can do this, 'You are great

O Yes! Not forgetting the now-famous feat achieved by Hilda Baci in her coock-a-thon.

These daily messages carry one thing: Identity

I ask; What's your Identity?

WHO ARE YOU?

Haven't you realised how you constantly question your ability and self?
How hard you try to figure out what you can and cannot do
How you keep wondering about the treasures you have in you
Your purpose, mission, vision, or perhaps passion.
You may have mentioned your name and asked, Who Am I?
Who Am I becoming?
What Am I to do?

This desire to know more creates a lot of confusion
It creates doubt and pushes you to compare yourself to others
In comparison you focus on the wrong sources,
You find peace and hope in temporal things

But see, Who You are, Your Identity isn't found in the one you desire to be like, or the one you compare yourself with.

What you give your heart to is Who you are
What you lean on defines You
Who you connect to defines who you are
What gives you meaning is who you are

Now, I ask again, Who are you?
What's your Identity?

Your Source is Your Identity
This source is Christ, Your Identity.

Timothy Keller says " If our identity is found in our works rather than Christ, success will get to our head and failure to our hearts".
Aside from Christ every Identity we put on fades.
Our true Identity is in Christ.

An Identity that gives you life
An identity that unveils your strength
An identity that turns your doubts into believes
An identity where the dirt turns to Gold

An identity where you discover you are wanted
You are chosen
You are uniquely created
You are light regardless of the darkness you see
You are a masterpiece
You are a new creation
A temple of honour
You are blameless
You are blessed
You are Forgiven
You are Loved
You are valuable
Above all odds, You are enough

This is Who you are, This is your Identity

An identity that doesn't question your existence
One that doesn't question your ability
One that pushes you to keep believing
One that shuts up the wrong voice around
One that gives you a peculiar robe
A robe dignified with purpose

Put on this Robe

And when next you are asked…

WHO ARE YOU?

Let them know your true identity.
