We naturally associate our own identity and the identity of each other with the things that we do and the things that happen to us - basically our story. We become known for and by what we do, what we experience, and how we respond. Unfortunately, that is a very shallow foundation for true identity. Thankfully, God sees things at a much deeper, truer level; and invites us to do the same. Our identity is not based on or limited to what we do or what happens to us. It comes from a much deeper, solid, sure place. Identity is ultimately determined by who God is and what He has done, not who you are and what you have done, or has been done to you. This is the beginning of freedom and purpose.
