Embracing True Identity: Finding Worth Beyond the World's Standards This Christmas.

Christmas is an excellent time for reflecting. The most precious gift we could ever receive was given to us. All we have to do is accept it and appreciate it. The more we identify with our gift Jesus, the happier we will be.

We can't identify with the world and its standards because they are beneath God's ways. Find your world in Him. The world will only pull you down and criticize you. You will never be enough by their standards. The thing is, their standards keep moving–they have to. They need to make money, so the only way to do it is to convince you that you aren't enough until you have this product or do this thing.

Marketing is a ploy to get you to spend your hard-earned cash and never feel satisfied.

But your real identity is in God, not your circumstances, bank account, weight, or postal code.

You don't need a title to be acknowledged by God. The blood of Jesus accepts you.

My friend, don't get caught in the world's trap ways of doing things. Focus on the creator who knows you, and let Him guide you. Your identity is seen in heaven, which is the most critical and lasting.

What God says matters, not what people say or think. Your identity begins with God because you were created in His image, not the world. Let Him be your source of identity.
