Where do we find our identity?

Here's a thought:We develop our identities from our interaction with the rest of the world. What our families, friends and others say to us and about us helps form our opinion of who we are. Add to that all of the self-talk we have inside and we have most of the data we use to form our self concept. Here's the catch: If you form your identity based on the feedback of a fallen world, you will end up with a fallen identity.It is when we decide to choose to draw our self concept from what God says about us that we enter into our true identity.
