The world teaches us to love ourselves.

Jesus teaches us to love others the way He loved us.

Think about the results if we all did either option. Where would you rather live?

If Jesus—the sinless, loving, perfect Son of God—was rejected, we can expect that people won’t always “approve” of us either.

Your worth doesn’t come from likes, praise, or the opinions of others. It comes from being loved and chosen by God. 🩷

Rest in this truth today: You are fully known, fully seen, and fully valued by the One who created you.

Who Are You?

“I’m not good enough.”

“I’m not smart enough.”

“I’m not strong enough.”

“I’m not enough.”

Every day, we are bombarded with lies that try to convince us that we don’t have what it takes to follow Jesus.

Every time we mess up, our insecurities reach out and tell us that we’ll always be weak—we’ll never experience the freedom Jesus says we can have. But Scripture reminds us that it’s Jesus’ divine power that gives us everything we need to live a godly life. With His strength, when we fall down—we can still get back up.

It’s in our weakness that God’s power is made perfect within us (2 Corinthians 12:9). By the power of Christ, nothing can keep its grip on us. Not fear, worry, doubt, defeat, discouragement, loneliness, hardship, or pain.

Through Jesus, we have everything we need to combat anything that attempts to seize our rightful identity.

God’s Word is living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. It discerns the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. It was breathed out by God. It corrects, teaches, and encourages us. God’s Word lights up our paths.

God’s Word is filled with reminders of our true identity. It can remind you that…

You are enough because you are a child of God. (John 1:12, 1 John 3:1)

You can rejoice in suffering because Christ suffered for you. (1 Peter 4:12-19, James 1:2-4)

You are greatly loved, and you can love others like you have been loved. (John 15:9-14)

Nothing can separate you from God’s love. (Romans 8:37-39)

When you understand who you are, that is when you will truly be able to do all things through Christ’s strength.

So let’s start applying the life-giving truth we find in the Bible so that we move from victimhood to victory. Embrace who you are in Christ.

“You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭114‬ ‭NLT‬‬

You don’t have to be ruled by anxiety.
You don’t have to be chained to the past.
Peace is possible. And it’s found in Christ.

“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.”
—Psalm 94:19

“Do not be anxious about anything... but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God... will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
—Philippians 4:6–7

God doesn’t shame us for feeling anxious. He meets us in it—with comfort, peace, and a love that never leaves.

Anxiety might cloud your mind, but it doesn’t cancel your faith. Bring it to God. Let His peace guard your heart today.
