Who We Are...part 3

This is part 3 of Who you are....
This devotion is really touching my heart.. I have to share!

In everything you do, bring your identity to what you do. Every decision you make, every action you take, let it be guided by who you are. The Bible is full of things showing you who you are. Know who you are, be encouraged by who you are, find strength in who you are, find confidence in who you are. Check these out:

Meditate daily on Romans 8:16-17

Who are you? The salt of the earth! What that means is this: Just as salt is a preserver of food, you are the preserver of absolute truth on the earth. That absolute truth is the Word of God and what His word declares. It is the absolute truth that Jesus is the only way to salvation. Show that truth to those around you! Matthew 5:13

Who are you? The light of the world! You are a light in a world of darkness. You’ve been sent to be that light. That light is the absolute truth of the Gospel. Don’t hide your light but let it boldly shine before others! Matthew 5:14

Who are you? You are known to God! God knows you as an individual. You are His child and He knows you as such. He knows the particulars of your life. The ups, the downs, your needs, the good and the bad. He not only knows you, but He cares and wants to be involved in the particulars of your life. Remember, the Bible says He will never leave you or forsake you. Believe it! Jeremiah 1:5

Who are you? You are set apart! What that means is, when you gave your life to God, He released your calling of purpose that sets you apart. You need to discover what that is by simply growing in Him and listening to His voice. God made everyone with an unique, individual purpose. No one was left out in this! Jeremiah 1:5

Who are you? You are appointed! With the purpose God made you with, He has set up appointments throughout your life for that purpose. In other words, God has a plan for you that will utilize you and bring fulfillment to your life. We stay on His plan by staying close to Him, listening His voice and obeying. Of course we know that if we stay in His plan, everything will turn out good. The Bible says that God works for the good of those who love Him! Jeremiah 1:5

Who are you? You are equipped! In other words, whatever God has purposed you to do He has given you what you need to do it! God never calls you to do anything that He leaves you shorthanded in doing. He has given you what you need to start and as you grow in Him more will come. Know that you can do whatever it is God has purposed you to do! Read about Moses and Egypt. God called Moses to get the people out and then equipped him to do so. Exodus 3-15 (I know its long, but read it over a couple of days).

Who are you? Simply put, a Christian! Don’t be ashamed. Don’t worry about the politically correct world. Don’t worry about what others say. Be unashamed of the faith you have. Be unashamed of the lifestyle of the believer. You will be rewarded for it! Romans 1:16
