Fifteen lies of identity:
- I am what I do.
- I am what I’ve done.
- I am what I have.
- I am what I look like.
- I am how I feel.
- I am where I’m from.
- I am how I was raised.
- I am my genes.
- I am my failures.
- I am my accomplishments.
- I am my preferences.
- I am who other people say I am.
- I am nothing more than my worst moment.
- I am nothing less than my best moment.
- I am no one going nowhere.
The one truth of identity:
I am who I AM made me to be—a human being loved by God and created in his image.
The challenge, of course, is to align our thinking to this reality on a regular basis. To do so is an act of faith. And a declaration of war against the father of lies.
