Who Defines You?

Who gets to define
Your identity?

Who gets to shed light
On the big question:
Who are you?

I bless you to sift out
The voices of society
And social media
And shame
And see your identity
In the One who made you
And loves you perfectly.

The spirit of the age cries:
“Look within – discover yourself,
Let no one tell you who you are!”

Jesus cries:
“I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will not
Walk in darkness,
But will have the light of life” (John 8:12).

Identity is not discovered within you,
It is revealed for you,
By His revealed word,
Child of God,
By His word.
