The world wants to define you, to give you identity, purpose and define success in life. But God already has. The truth is that you will never be satisfied with what the world offers. It’s time to walk in your true identity in Christ.

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Your identity is revealed through your desires. It is amazing that all people, no matter what color, what culture, or where we are on the globe (even isolated tribes) are hard wired with the same core desires.
Deep down we all want to be loved, accepted, approved. We feel the need to be known, to belong, and to have worth. We need meaning, purpose and significance. And we struggle when we don’t have hope or feel safe. We treasure freedom and justice. And we want goodness and joy in our lives.
God placed desires in us to draw us to him. He gave us desires only he can fill. As we come to God to fill those desires, he completes us. He makes us whole.
Follow the desires God has placed in your life. They are His path to become the person he dreamed you could be and to do the specific tasks He is preparing you to do.
Psalm 16:11
You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Ephesians 2:10 Easy
It is God who has worked in us to make us what we are. He has given us a new life because we are united with Christ Jesus. He saved us so that now we can do good things in our lives. Those are good things that he has already prepared for us to do.
