Hello world!! I hope everyone is well and healthy and encouraged during this hard time we live in.
WARNING: HONEST TIME!!
I used to struggle with identity. Who I am, what is my purpose, and why am I here? Well, the answer finally clicked when I was staring at the decor thing whatever hanging on our wall. Here's the answer.
I am a child of God
I am Chosen
I am adopted
I am redeemed
I am Forgiven
I am Sealed
I am Loved
I am Saved

The Spirit of God, who is greater than the enemy of the world, lives in me. ( 1 J. 4:4)
God supplies all of my needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).
In all circumstances I live by faith in God and extinguish all the flaming darts (attacks) of the enemy (Ephesians 6:16).

I am chosen by God who called me out of the darkness of sin and into the light and life of Christ so I can proclaim the excellence and greatness of who He is (1 Peter 2:9).
I am born again—spiritually transformed, renewed and set apart for God’s purpose—through the living and everlasting word of God (1 Peter 1:23).
I am God’s workmanship, created in Christ to do good works that He has prepared for me to do (Ephesians 2:10).
I am a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
In Christ, I am dead to sin—my relationship to it is broken—and alive to God—living in unbroken fellowship with Him (Romans 6:11).

As I hear God’s Word, I do what it says and I am blessed in my actions (James 1:22, 25).
I am a joint-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17). I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me (Romans 8:37).
I overcome the enemy of my soul by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony (Revelation 12:11).
I have everything I need to live a godly life and am equipped to live in His divine nature (2 Peter 1:3-4).
I am an ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). I am part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people (1 Peter 2:9).

My body is a temple of the Holy Spirit; I belong to Him (1 Corinthians 6:19)
I am the head and not the tail, and I only go up and not down in life as I trust and obey God (Deuteronomy 28:13).
I am the light of the world (Matthew 5:14).
I am chosen by God, forgiven and justified through Christ. I have a compassionate heart, kindness, humility, meekness and patience (Romans 8:33; Colossians 3:12).
Guys, there is so much more where this came from. I hope everyone realizes that we have worth because we are adopted into God's family, if we just accept him into our hearts.
Thank you Charis! I've read through all of these now, and I love them :)
