You are not who others say you are.

You are not who others expect you to be.

You are not who the school bullies said were.

You are not who the adult bullies say you are.

You are not what anyone thinks about your ethnicity.

You are not defined by your clothes size.

You are not defined by your (in)abilities.

You are not defined by your sin.

You are not defined by your failures.

You are not defined by your past.

You are not defined by anyone else’s sins, failures, etc. – not by association, not by DNA, not by anything anyone else brings to the table.

Your job doesn’t define you.

You birthplace doesn’t define you.

Your Sitz im Leben (station in life) doesn’t define you.

Your credit score does not define you.

Your math score does not define you.

Your looks do not define you.

Your friends do not define you.

Your family does not define you.

Your coach does not define you.

Your enemy does not define (although he’ll spew every possible influence on you he can).

Your weaknesses don’t not define you.

Your strengths don’t define you.

Only God defines you. The very God Who created everything and everyone also created you.

With a unique design.

With a God-intended purpose.

We are not perfect. But The Lord is!

This same perfect God created us all in His image.

We are who our Heavenly Father says we are. And we who trust God through Jesus Christ are defined by who He says we are.

We are His.

We are loved.

We are here with a divinely imparted purpose.

We are forgiven.

We are blessed beyond measure.

We are our His.

To refuse acceptance of this is to accept lies as truth. It is delusional.

It is delusional.

Trust God in knowing Who you are. He’s known you since before time. Can anyone on earth honestly make that claim?

Don’t believe the lies about yourself. Only believe in your Father God through His Son Jesus. He gets you. After all, He designed and created you!

You are loved beyond measure, beyond grasp!
