CHASING IDENTITY

People within our modern culture seem to constantly chase after personal identity using material things, causes, cliques and practically everything else to discover and then proclaim who they are. As a child of God I need not chase identity. I am not what I possess, nor what I have accomplished; I am who God designed me to be. I need not go on a search for identity since He knew me while still in my mother’s womb and brought me into this world to do His bidding. The words of God Himself in Isaiah settle the question: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.” So there’s that. Lord God, I gladly fall into Your embrace and surrender all pursuits to Your perfect plan. I delight to do Your will.
