Coping with Me - Searching For Your Id
1. Coping with Me - Searching For Your Id
Hebrews 2: 7-8, "You produced him just a little less than the angels; you crowned him with
glory and honor and set everything under his legs." Identity in Christ
When men and women close to us-especially those who have long been entrusted to care for
us and nurture us-tell us through text and actions that we are not sufficient; or imply we
usually do not "measure up," it instills in us worries of failing and eliminates the expectation
of success.
The young woman from Ohio has experienced the tension of continually letting people all the
way down, failing at living, and dropping in romantic relationships. She depends on the
acceptance and affirmation of people; feeling as if she actually is never good enough and
constantly letting someone all the way down; constantly giving and seldom receiving.
These characteristics be a part of our foundation laid early inside our lives by moms and
dads, family members, and those who we respect highly and trust more. In cases like this it is
the young woman's mommy.
Being battered by text and called titles in regards to her appearance as opposed to being
motivated to like herself and be the perfect person she could be no matter what she appears
like or where she come from.
There's more to all or any folks than what we notice in the mirror and on the outside. This girl
has a coronary heart for helping men and women and a desire to have God and she actually
is compassionate; tries to see the good in all. However, she struggles with resting in God for
herself and getting positive in who she actually is in Him. ("...being confident of the, he who
began an excellent work in you will carry it on to completion until the day time of Christ
Jesus." Philippians 1:6) However, through talking to her and conversing it out, she
recognizes her insecurities and how they initiated. She actually is now able to address the
issues and become set free. Possibly she can help her mom. Why should she try to be of
assistance to her mother? Could it be that probably her mommy had this similar type of
romantic relationship with her mommy and deals with it by exemplifying or repeating exactly
the same pattern?
Look over your life. Acknowledge your shortcomings and possibly where they originated from
and where they originated. This is so you may tackle them and stop the cycle from appearing
repeated with your children.
There is bad and the good rooted within us from our childhood in fact it is around us to
generate a choice to take what is needed and abandon the rest in past times. Understand
that your inadequacies are there that you should learn from also to push you; never to retain
you down or stop you from achieving your potential and fulfilling your reason. Ask God that
2. will help you notice yourself as He sees you. He enjoys you in spite of your outer appearance
or the things you perform. He designed you in His image just a little lower than the angels.
This should offer you peace and hope to know you were created with power, function and
destiny.
Wrap your identity in Christ. Hide in Him and understand that that can be done everything
through Christ who gives you strength (Philippians 4:13). Relaxation in Him and there you will
discover yourself.
