What are you allowing to define your identity?

Hello Friend,

It’s easy to get caught up in trying to find our value, worth, and identity in what we do: our jobs, performance, accomplishments, activities, earthly gain, other people’s opinions, or even our own thoughts.

While many of these things can be important, they do not define who we ultimately are. God does.

Our work, accomplishments, and relationships can be meaningful, and they are, but they are not the source of our identity or worth. Our identity is rooted in who God says we are.

Take a few moments to listen to this brief encouragement from Francis Chan:

Francis Chan – Who Defines Your Worth

I want to encourage you today with this simple reminder:

Who you are in Christ, as a child of God, is more than enough.

You don’t have to earn your worth. You don’t have to prove your value. And you don’t have to let your performance, circumstances, successes, failures, or the opinions of others tell you who you are.

He is the One Who defines you.

I’ve also put together a free downloadable resource to help remind us, through God’s Word, of Who You Are in Christ:

Who You Are in Christ – Free Download

Someone shared a similar resource with me early in my walk with Christ, and over the years I’ve built upon it as a reminder and encouragement to share with others.

I encourage you to read through it, study the Scriptures, take them to heart, and pray over them.

Keep it handy and return to it, especially in those seasons when you may forget who you are and Whose you are.

Your identity is not found in what you do. It is found in Who you belong to and what He says about you!

Blessings!

Your brother, friend, and servant in Christ,

Randolph Koch
