Labels Lie

The identity that you embrace determines your freedom position. Stop believing the negative labels and start living as God’s beloved. Who are you? It is an important question to ask ourselves and how we answer that question determines whether we are living a free life or not.

Many people have their identity defined by a negative label. We see ourselves as failures and mistakes. We let a bad decision, a negative circumstance or someone else define who we are. Others let work titles or accomplishments define their identity. We package up all of our successes and never show any weakness. We become what the world wants us to be. Some wear religious labels and proclaim their great holiness only to follow in the footsteps of the Pharisees.

No matter who we are or what we have done, we are God’s beloved. When we operate out of this identity, we become whole and free from the destructive labels. The key is to live out this identity and experience the powerful freedom found in belonging to God’s family.

Don’t believe the labels that lie!
