woman staring into camera looking worried and unsure, scriptures to read when you don't know who you are

I've always admired those who are confident in who they are as information technology took me years to obtain this same confidence. Those that know themselves are confident in what they represent. They know all their likes and dislikes, what they are passionate about, and what sets them apart. They know and believe what God says most them to be truth.

But perhaps you lot are more than like the rest of us who often feel more than tossed and swayed with the wind of others' opinions, views, or things they've said about you. Y'all may feel more similar a past-product of who they say yous are versus who God says you are.

Have you e'er stopped to enquire yourself, "is my security and who I am built on God's point of view or the earth's?"

Matthew 7:24-28 teaches us that those who build their lives on God's words are like "a man who builds his house on a rock, and when the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, it did not fall, for information technology was founded on the rock" (Matthew vii:25). The scripture goes on to say in Matthew 7:26-27, that it is the "foolish human who is the one who builds his business firm on the sand, and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it barbarous. And great was its fall."

We need to ask ourselves if we are basing who we are on the solid stone of God'southward word in Scripture or on the sinking sands of the world. Because as Scripture states, "peachy is the fall" for those who build their lives on the sand. If we don't believe who nosotros are in Christ and what He says well-nigh us, then information technology's easy for the states to make decisions on shaky ground, non secure.

When we don't truly know who we are, we make decisions and live our lives on lies well-nigh who club says we are versus on the truth of God'due south discussion. Allow'south brainstorm to walk in the truth of who we really are instead of the lies that keep us in the sinking sand.

Here are x scriptures to read when you don't know who yous are:

1. You Are Called

He chose usa knowing nosotros would doubt Him, and at times choose others over Him. He appointed us to go and bear His fruit knowing that nosotros were sinners.

The world will reject you and judge yous, merely God chooses you over and over again.

ii. Yous Are Loved beyond Measure out

"And may you lot have the power to understand, equally all God's people should, how broad, how long, how high, and how deep His love is." (Ephesians iii:18)

He remembers it no more. We are to repent and ask for the forgiveness He freely offers. God is and so gracious and loves united states of america and then much to forgive all our sins.

Christ came to die for our sins so that we tin can spend eternity with Him as His children. He loves united states of america so much that He bought united states of america at a high price through the death and blood of Jesus. While the globe will love us temporarily, we are forever a kid bought at a loftier price.

8. You Are Not Your By – Y'all Are Fabricated New

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new cosmos, erstwhile things have passed away; behold, all things have get new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Nosotros will all the same sin in this globe considering we live in a fallen world, but sin is no longer your master.

Slide 5 of 5

"For we are God's masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to practise skilful works, so nosotros can do the things He planned for u.s.a. long ago." (Ephesians two:10)

When an artists calls a work of art his masterpiece, he is proclaiming how every ounce of his skill and attention and heart has been poured into the creation. In the same way, merely as God intentionally made you by pattern, with every stroke on purpose, you are His very own personal and final masterpiece.
