Thoughts
Very often we tie our identity to roles we have such as: coach, teacher, mom, supervisor, pastor, sister, brother or whatever role you have. Any of these things may be a small part of who you are, but your Identity in Christ, is the one that cannot be shaken or changed. It is Christ living in us and through us. When we receive Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we receive a new identity. We are His son or daughter and He loves us unconditionally.
His Joy becomes our joy, His love our love, His peace our peace, His strength our strength. Trust in Him and walk with Him today.
