What gives us identity? Our identity is defined by the love of Jesus and everything else flows from our communion with him.
What defines our worship to God? Is it in our gifts? Our actions worship God when done in authenticity, coming out of a place of knowing Him and knowing His voice.
We spend too much time not liking ourselves! We put so much effort into improving our flaws when we could be using our gifts effectively and even surrendering our weaknesses to the Lord and trusting Him to use our weaknesses. He is just so opposite of everything we naturally think.
We must LOVE OURSELVES in order to love others well. We do so many things because we think we should, or because it looks fun on someone else! And Some things just don’t fit! Like me, I don’t ever need to be using a sewing machine. It’s just bad news every time.
Knowing what is true, that God’s love is for you, is what will sustain you when things come and go.
Psalm 1 They will be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God’s design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of their lives.
2 Cor 10:12
We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.
Meet Jesus face to face to know His voice is for you. Challenge the things you hate about yourself to be useful to serve others.
BUST A MOVE: Alright girlies we gotta busta move? If we are going to grow life giving beliefs and in purpose then we have to take action. So what's your move this week? What's your take away? Let’s put something in motion in our lives.
Make a list of labels you have on your life. Wife, mom, therapist..
Who would you be if that label was removed? Would you still be serving God well? How would you be showing Him love? How would you be loving people?
Then confess those things..they are not your identity. You are on mission to love and obey God and offer your story as your worship.
