Some people change their IDENTITY to be in--or so they are 'belong.'
Oftentimes, people want to be accepted.
Who are we, really? What is our identity?
Top 5 the world says that who 'we should be:'
1. Social Media - we find our FB posts after waking up and check 'likers' for fans or whatever.
2. Commercials - ex. Why is it that men, should drink beer?
3. Celebrities - ex. We are friends with famous people or related to them.
4. Pickup Lines - no explanation. This is it.
5. Getting Rich - we think we can control anyone.
Who are we really?
1. We are created in God's own Image - we are unique, created individually but equally.
"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." (Genesis 1:27 NIV)
2. We are FEARFULLY (extremely) and WONDERFULLY (excellently) made.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." (Psalm 139:14 NIV)
- DON'T BE INSECURE! God created women beautifully. Guys, appreciate the women's beauty.
Why did God made men stronger than women? For we are DESIGNED TO PROTECT THEM!
3. We are God's HANDIWORK - own creation; God's masterpiece.
"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10 NIV)
- ex. paintings are only man-made. God created us while having His hands dirty for we are made on ashes. That's how He loves us. "Ok lang na madumihan 'yung kamay niya para sa'yo."
"Give it all to me if you love me," is CRAZY. Guys, do not degrade women as well as yourself. TIMING IS PERFECT.
Whenever others mock you for virginity, girls, say, "Anytime I can be like you, but there will be no time, that you can be like me."
- Charles Cristobal
Lesson: Our Identity is not what the world or others dictate to us. How we must love is not how the world tells us.
After all, our life is all between GOD and US.
Glory are all to our Father in Heaven who is greater above all things! May His precious loving grace touch our hearts and enable us to be secured in every aspect of our life! Amen. :)
