It used to be that I put my identity in things I could be accepted or recognized for. I wanted to be good at something...I wanted someone to notice.
I don't put my identity in that anymore on a consistent basis, but I am a forgetful creature. I still stumble, I still struggle because I'm not yet fully renewed, but am being renewed day by day. I still struggle with wanting to be known, wanting to be speical. I search and strive for it still sometimes and become defensive when someone tries to take it away...
Until the offer is better, and the True offer is better. Because the True offer, when taken, gives me acceptance apart from anything I could ever do. I am significant because He created me. I have purpose because He created me.
He holds my life in His hands, and that brings a comfort it never used to. It stills my striving & worrisome heart, bringing it to rest & to peace. Amen.
