I’ve had a message stirring in my heart lately about my identity. See, I’ve begun realizing how many things in my life have the potential to take precedence over my identity in Christ. Here on this earth, we have careers, and spouses, and children, and hobbies, and so many roles that we play. If we aren’t careful, it is easy to begin to find our identity in those things, rather than finding our identity in Jesus, and letting our “sub-identities” (for lack of a better descriptor) be an outcropping of our true identity.
Here’s the thing. No matter how great we are at any one role, no matter how strong our marriage is, or how great of a musician, or how successful of an athlete, or how enviable of a parent we are, every single one of those things can be shaken!
