Rediscovering Your True Identity
Imagine living a life where you feel like a failure, alone and without purpose. This is exactly what Simba, the beloved lion from The Lion King, experienced when his evil uncle led him to believe he was no longer worthy. But one day, as he sat by a lake, he heard his father’s voice whispering, “Remember who you are.” In that moment, Simba saw his true reflection – a strong, courageous lion and rightful heir to the kingdom.
Just like Simba, we often forget our true identity. But our loving Father has given us hundreds of Scriptures to remind us of who we are in Christ. As we gaze into the Living Water, we see a reflection of our true selves. We are Abba’s children, loved and cherished by the God of all grace.
You Are…
- A child of God, with the Spirit of sonship (Galatians 4:6, Romans 8:15)
- On the winning side, with Jesus as the victorious warrior (Colossians 2:15, Exodus 15:3)
- Crowned with love and compassion, with a glorious crown (Psalm 103:4, Isaiah 28:5)
- Rich in God’s grace, with Jesus as the friend of sinners (2 Corinthians 8:9, Matthew 11:19)
- Free from condemnation, with Jesus as your intercessor (Romans 8:1, Hebrews 7:25)
God Sees and Hears You
- He sees you, even when you feel invisible (Psalm 33:13-14, Genesis 16:13)
- He hears you, even when you feel like no one is listening (Isaiah 65:24, Exodus 22:27)
- He satisfies your needs, even in the midst of challenges (Isaiah 58:11, Psalm 107:9)
- He gives you authority to overcome, with Jesus as your stronghold (Luke 10:19, Matthew 28:18)
Remember Who You Are
As you reflect on these truths, remember that your identity is rooted in who your Father is. You are a tree planted by streams of water, with the Living Water flowing from within you (Jeremiah 17:8, John 7:37-39). May you always remember who you are, and may your life be a reflection of God’s love and glory.
