I was reading an article from the sweet Sara Barrett talking about why teens today are in what many people call an identity crisis. When we talk about identity as Christians and who God says we are, we miss out on one very important piece of information.
Before we can really receive who it is that God says we are, we have to answer the question, who is God that I should trust Him?"
First of all…God is love!
If you are anything like me, I had a dad growing up who didn’t understand what it meant to be a good dad…not even close! It was hard for me to see how much I was really loved by God, because I was looking at God through the eyes of how I saw my earthly dad. However, once I had a revelation of how much God loved me, it rocked my world!
When I gave my life to Jesus at the age of 17, I was a depressed, broken, miserable mess! But what changed my life, was I heard how much He loved me and how much He cared about me…even when my earthly father didn’t and I couldn’t help but be drawn to him.
I have heard many Christians and even pastors say things like, “You better not mess up or God’s going to get you!” Ladies, God is not looking out and watching for when you mess up so that He can give you a holy smack to the head. No! He doesn’t like when you mess up. It hurts His heart, because He knows that it’s hurting you, but He’s not out to get you. That’s the devil. John 10:10 tells us that the thief…or the devil is the one who comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy, but Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly!
