Summary: From the time I was seven years old, I hung out with the same group of friends. I carved out a role for myself among them, an identity that fit in. I was "the crazy one." When I went off to college and left my familiar group behind, the reputation I had built for myself disappeared. I realized that I didn't know who I was because my friends weren't there to define me. I was plagued by the question: "Who am I really?" Left without an answer, I felt lost and out of place.But once I became a follower of Jesus, that question took on a new and exciting dynamic. "Who am I?" The answer filled my heart with joy, confidence and a sense of eternity. When we accept Jesus Christ, our identity no longer relies on anything or anyone in this world.Many of us let things such as our jobs, talents, and the people around us define our perception of who we are. But these things are fallible and temporary. Romans 8 call us "God's children" and "co-heirs with Christ." God has claimed us as His own and promised us eternal life! This is our true identity. Share this exciting truth with someone today.
