Your identity is not defined by rejection, fear, your past, or changing feelings. Here's what God says about you:
Your life is not an accident. You were made by God, and your worth begins with the One who created you.
Genesis 1:27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Jesus knows the pain of rejection. When you receive Him and believe on His name, He gives you power to become a child of God.
John 1:11-13He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Jesus does more than offer advice. He offers forgiveness, a new beginning, and a life rooted in Him.
2 Corinthians 5:17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
When you come to Christ, He receives you. His welcome is not temporary, and you do not have to fear being rejected again.
John 6:37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
God does not leave you to figure out your identity on your own. Jesus calls you to come to Him and receive new life.
The Bible says God created you on purpose and knows you deeply.
Psalm 139:13-16...thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
We've all done things that hurt others and separate us from God.
Romans 3:23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Jesus lived a perfect life, died, and rose again to offer forgiveness and new life.
John 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
You don't have to clean yourself up first. Jesus invites you to follow Him today.
Matthew 11:28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
You do not have to answer every question today. Begin by bringing your questions honestly to Jesus, then keep growing in your identity in Christ.
Read slowly and ask God to show you who Jesus is and what He says is true.
Look for a church that will encourage you, pray with you, and help you grow in your identity in Christ.
