"What does identity mean to you?"
Before answering, I pondered my response.
Often my identity has been wrapped up in
My relationships, being a wife, a
Mother, a grandma.
But now that I'm single again I identify as a
Widow, a writer, a witness for Jesus.
I'm also beginning to see myself as an
Old woman, not easy for me to accept.
It appears, then, that my identity changes as
My life does.
But in one regard, who I am is permanent,
Never subject to change.
In Christ I'm a new creation.
I'm unique, created for a purpose, His
Dearly loved child.
My relationship with Him affects every
Part of my life.
Not living out my faith would not just be
Denying Him, but who I am.
My identity in Christ gives me a great sense of
Security in the here and now, and hope for
The hereafter.
Summing up I told my friend,
"Since Christ and I are inseparable, His
Identity is mine. How amazing is that!"
Hopefully, she is getting an idea of what
Makes me tick.
