IDENTITY

Nowadays, wherever you go; to a bank, to a railway station, an airport, any government institutions or to your working company, you are asked for a proof, an identity.

 “Identification of yourself” is an Identity. It includes; your education status, your locality, your economy status, your family status. It is all about your past, and about your present, but no one can predict, or tell your future. Some, people rely on horoscopes and palmistry. Those who don’t have hands, don’t they have a future? Yes, even they have a future, which is written by the Almighty God.

 You, and me are engraved in His hands. He knows our uprising, and down sitting. When a person sees us, he identifies us by; our look, or attitude, or work, or our sickness, or any negativity in life, all the outward appearance.

But, the most important is the way how, our God identify us? Whether, we are up to His mark, in life. All of us need, to have our identities, shaped by knowing what God, says about us, as to who we are. Our, identities come not from what happens to us, but from what God declares about us. God, will give us a new identity.

What do you like your identity to be?

There is a world out, which will label you or make your identity. They will label us as… Motherless, Fatherless, Widow, Childless, Unnoticed and Unloved. It is clear from an example, in the scripture of Naomi, whose name meant pleasant, when she lost her husband and her two sons, she was identified as Mara, meaning bitter. But, that’s not the way God, looks into or identify us. No matter, what has been your previous life; God will forgive all your wrongdoings and trespasses if you confess it to Him. Once you are redeemed, you belong to His family.

 Often, we feel timid and small because of our weakness we see in ourselves. We consider ourselves, shy, not intelligent, good for nothing, or not beautiful. The identification, you are going to make, people are going to see that. The potentials you have will be your I.D. Your identity is in the word of God. Open up the word of God and see the identity you have. We are the partakers of Christ. So, we are Blessed, Favored, Loved, we are God’s treasure, the work of His hands. The apple of His eye. His Beloved.

We should thank God and glorify Him for making us qualified, worthy, powerful, blameless and accepted by God. This is how God sees you. As in scriptures Col 1:22

Therefore, it’s our responsibility to live a life which is pleasing and a blameless life. Live righteously, a life God created you to live, that is in love and harmony. A life without God is a life without peace. A life without God is a life of chaos. A life without God isn’t a life at all.
