Maybe you became captivated by the world, or thought God was holding back something good from you. Maybe your quest for knowledge or validation forged a rift you just couldn’t reconcile. Or, maybe a major disappointment made you believe God wasn’t good. You’ve been duped, and as you walk away, the enemy is stealing the riches of your royal identity. Don’t allow it!

As believers, we have a beautiful identity in Christ that changes the way we live our lives. But sometimes, the stresses and busyness of life cause us to lose focus and forget who we really are. When this happens, we stop living like a child of the King, and begin living without His purposes in mind. God has so much more for us though. He has plans for us to walk in, and people we need to reach for His Kingdom. But to do so, we need to remember who we are!

When we put our faith in Christ, we have a whole new identity. We are no longer defined by the labels of the world or any mistakes we made in the past. No, we are made new. And, with that transformation comes a brand new identity. We are children of God, forgiven, redeemed, chosen, set apart, sealed and hidden in Christ. We are His ... and no one can snatch us from God’s hand!

What has God put before you that takes courage to do? Maybe it feels too hard and you would rather give up. Ironically, God uses the very challenges we want to run from to build up our courage, so we can be victorious. The trials and difficulties are sent to train us; the testing and endurance is intended to strengthen us; and each time we trust Him, God shows up and proves Himself faithful ... and our courage grows.
