Reason to Hope
You have security in knowing that nothing can change who you are or how God sees you.
If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, you may be basing your identity on something fleeting, which sells you and everyone who knows you short of the joy of gettnig to know you on a deeper level.
What if you could just identify as you, regardless of whatever goes on around you? What if you felt safe and secure in who you are?
What would it look like if your identity were no longer tied to:
• What you do • What you look like
• What you have or don't have
• Who approves of or likes you • Past mistakes
Practice knowing who you are by saying aloud, "I am already ____:
• Accepted • Cherished • Beautiful
• Capable • Complete • Understood
• Worthwhile • Powerful • Strong
• Rescued • Secure
What if you don't have to prove anything to be worth something? What if your existence is valid and uniquely important? What if you don't have to fight for a place in the world, because you already have one?
If you could see yourself without the lenses of society, the way God sees you, as a piece of Him, precious and lovable, then you may find that you have a more positive and stable identity than before. There is such joy and peace in knowing that God loves you and wants you to personally experience the joy of living a life filled with a HOPE that can't be shaken by a bad day or worse... a bad selfie.
