413 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ 

*Identity*

"It 's in Christ we find out who we are and what we are living for." Ephesians 1:11

It's Halloween today and it's one of my favorite holidays simply because me and my family love to dress up. We own a party planning business which sends characters to events, so dressing up has always been one of our favorite things to do. 

I know Halloween is not a Christian based holiday but the lord knows where my heart lies when we take part in dressing up as fun characters and walking around socializing with our neighbors. 

It's one fun day that we get to dress up and be someone or something else (in healthy taste of course). We should be happy to return to who we are but some are not happy to return to who they are. Some have completely lost a sense of their identity and who they were made to be. 

The Book of Romans focuses on how we find our identity through God! Our identity lies in knowing who we are in our God who created our very souls. 

We are at a time in history when never has there been more access to information but never has there been more confusion in society. To those who are lost, we will never find satisfaction or peace in things that are not focused on our Lord. We will not find our identity through others, we will not find our identity by changing the sex that we were born into the world with, we will not find our identity by wanting to be like someone we idolize and we will not find our identity by carefully blending into society. We only find our true identity through God! 

The Challenge: 

Struggling with your identity and who you are here on earth? Try reading the Book of Romans in the Bible. Instead of pouring all your energy into listening to the lies about who you are go to the one source of truth! Consult the one who fearfully and wonderfully made you in his image!
