Our Identity is either found in Christ or found in the judgement of people in this world. As a born-again child of God we are no longer hindered by peoples opinion, for our identity is in Christ.
Romans 12:2 says, “do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. . .” To see ourselves as God see us, we need to speak His Word out loud, over and over again.
I know it works, for from the time I asked Jesus into my life I was encouraged to do this. I have grown from an insecure, nervous, heavy hearted, struggling girl to a girl who now is secure, confident, bold, light hearted because of my new found identity in a God who loves me unconditionally. There is hope for all of us. I encourage you to begin to speak the above scriptures over yourself every day and I am sure you too will begin to grow in your new life in Christ.
