Ephesians 2:10 We are engineered by his design; he molded and manufactured us in Christ. We are his workmanship, his 1poetry. We are 2fully fit to do good, equipped to give attractive evidence of his likeness in us in everything we do. The mirror version.
This phrase that I heard yesterday was a game changer for me. I had never heard it put this way before.
I heard what you did, but I see who you are.
If you take on the identity of what you did or what happened to you.
You will miss the identity of what he did
Then you’re back to square one, and you’ll never change. Dan Mohler
Comfort, freedom, and truth all-in-one.
Matthew 5:48 (ESV) 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Bad things happen or we make bad choices and then bad things happen. It really doesn’t matter what happened if it’s some type of trauma.
I know I touched on this the other day, but I am going to say it again. I lost a son, but my identity is not in him but in Jesus. Healed from drug addiction does not define me. Bullied during school does not define me. Failed 1st marriage does not define me. I have many more I can name I’m not going to.
Do you have a trauma in your life that by choice has defined you?
Psalms 139:14 (ESV) 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
I heard what you did, but I see who you are.
2 Corinthians 5.17 Now, in the light of your co-inclusion in his death and resurrection, whoever you thought you were before, in Christ, you are a brand new person! The old ways of seeing yourself and everyone else are over. Acquaint yourself with the new!
