A couple of years ago, my junior year of college, was when I finally understood what it meant to define myself. Before, I used to define myself by the things I liked to do, tried to do, and aspired to do. It was not until a Thursday night meeting of Cru (a Christian-campus ministry that I have been heavily involved in for the past 3 years) that I recognized that I am not defined by what I do, what I have done, or what I am going to do—I am defined by what Jesus Christ has already done for me.
As a human, it is so easy to lose sight of what is true based on the Word of God. Being in the word as a young-Christian female, it is easy to compare myself to others and find my identity in how I "measure up" to what the world finds favor in. Not only do I have to encourage myself, but I hope to encourage other Christian women to believe in the truth about where our identity can be found. Someone once told me when I am in doubt about how much I am valued, remember that Jesus thought I was worth dying for, and that my friends is where we can all find our identity. I am not going to lie, I still struggle with believing this EVERYDAY, but most days I can point myself to truth and let go of any LIES that Satan tells me about where my identity LIES. xoxoxo -Bekki Kayy
