Identity, part 1

“Who am I?” “Where do I belong?” “Does my life matter?” “What gives me worth or
makes me valuable?” “How can I prove to myself or to others that I’m valuable and I
matter?” “Am I lovable; am I loved?” Do you ask yourself any of these questions? Where
do you look for the answers? Social media…How you’re able to present yourself there or
how many friends or likes you get? Academic or career success? The admiration of friends
or the opposite sex? The success of your children? The love of a boyfriend or spouse?
Personal accomplishments? What others say about you? Please join us as we seek God’s
perspective. He has answers for us!
