STOP IT! Stop trying to become who you already are. All that you have been striving to become, you already are. You are not a failure even though you have failed. You are strong when you are weak. You can choose to believe in yourself because God already believes in you! You are more than you know you are. It's found in Jesus. It’s all yours, but you must take possession of it. It’s time to stop it! Stop trying to become who you already are and learn to live in your God–given identity. There is joy and freedom in learning to live from the approval of God rather than trying to gain the approval of man. In this book, Sheri shares her story that she took towards learning to live from her IDNJC (Identity in Jesus Christ) so you too can take possession of your True ID.
My life has been a bit of a mess lately. I’m letting stress, anxiety, and situations that are out of my control have complete control over my actions, words, and attitude. I was feeling down tonight after saying goodbye to my students. Not the usual let’s spend the day together last day of school, but let me watch you drive by as I wave and hold up my Love You 3000 sign. I looked at my shelf and saw this book among 6 others. I don’t know what made me pick it up, but it was exactly what I needed it. I have to CHOOSE everyday to believe who God says I am and not what I or anyone else says I am.
The book was repetitive in places, but that could be in the editing. There were many typos but I didn’t let it stop me! Ephesians 1:17-20 will be my daily prayer.
