You are not here by chance, by fate, by coincidence or luck. You are here because God planned you to be here – and he has a plan and purpose for your life. Because HE. LOVES. YOU!
When you accept God’s invitation to be part of his family, by believing in Jesus as Savior and following him as leader, you receive a new identity as God’s Beloved!
So friend, you gotta remind yourself of your identity every morning, first thing. Before all the other noise of the world starts shouting at you, remind yourself of WHO YOU ARE. Spend some time meditating on one of the identity statements and it’s corresponding scripture each day.
