What defines you as a person? Does what folks standards set in society dictate who you are? Does social media, your parents, your past experiences, your current events, your accomplishments, your dreams, goals, and aspirations define you? All of those things can influence your decisions, choices,  and outcomes if we allow them to. We ought not to put all our eggs in one basket of life and the things of this world. We need to pursue our creator because he created us after his image and likeness therefore as we discover more of who God is through his only begotten son Jesus we will soon find our true selves. We go through life as babies learning ourselves through Discovery of the world around us. We go from discovering that we have hands and feet to growing pains of adolescence to Teenagers and young adults to older adults to elderly if we are blessed to live a long life. We should through all our stages of life walk with God as much as we humanly can and the Holy Spirit will help you through lives journeys, twists and turns. With all of that being said I'm still learning myself daily. Everyday I strive to know myself better and everyday there is an area where I miss the mark but I will keep on pressing. What I know to be true is that

My Identity is in Christ Jesus!!!!

Roman's 8:17 (Heir) says:  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Joh 8:36 KJV (Free) If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Joh 15:15 KJV (Friend) Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

2Co 1:21-22 KJV (Sealed) 21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. (The Holy Spirit is a pledge in our hearts that we are sealed by God)

Deu 14:2 KJV (Choosen) For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

Eph 5:1 KJV (Beloved) Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Rom 5:1 KJV(Justified) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Psa 103:11-12 KJV( Forgiven) 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Phi 3:20 KJV ( Citizen of Heaven) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

When I worship him and learn of him I start to find me. I will find the answers to my issues and challenges and will find my purpose I will find my area of strength my areas of focus for which God has given me the power and faith to break the yoke of bondage. God has given us all a lane and faith to walk worthy of the vocation he has called us too. I must give God praise even in my trials because except a seed goes into the ground to die it can't bare fruit. I have to know that there are things within my flesh that create friction with the parts of my Spirit and that don't honor God. When I do this I'm discovering more and more of my true self my true identity.
