Identity lesson 1

Identity is how you see yourself. Sometimes we think of ourselves more highly than we should. Other times we degrade ourselves and don't see clearly. Our identity finds real meaning when we find it in Christ. He values us so much, that he gave His life for us. Some people do give their lives for those they love, in protecting them or fighting for a cause to preserve the lives of those dear to them. Jesus, fully God, died a cruel death, so your identity and true being would be a child of God. As a child of God(our King), we are princesses and princes. We are valued beyond our comprehension.

As women, it is a deep need to be admired and looked on with pleasure. In Psalms 45 it says "The king delights in your beauty." That is what every women desires. If that is not satisfied by a human male know that your Heavenly Father "rejoices over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17 The next time you look in the mirror, see yourself as the daughter of the King.

For men, your Father is Mighty to save. See that also in Zephaniah 3:17. He wants you to "rest in His Love." He rejoices over you with singing in approval and acceptance of all you are and do. Do your best at all times. Know there is always a nod of approval, and a smile on His face. "Well done, my beloved".
