Live Like Who You Are

(Special Mother's Day Message)

 

Day 1: Recognizing Your True Identity

 

Devotional

Have you ever looked at yourself through someone else's eyes? Maybe you've carried labels that others have placed on you - labels that have shaped how you see yourself. These labels might come from family, friends, colleagues, or even strangers. But here's the beautiful truth: your identity isn't determined by what others say about you. Your true identity is found in who God says you are. When you accepted Christ, you received a new identity - one that can't be shaken by human opinions or worldly standards. Just as a royal child never loses his connection to the king, your connection to the King of kings establishes your unchangeable identity.

 

Bible Verse

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."- 1 Peter 2:9

Reflection Question

What labels have you been carrying that don't align with how God sees you?

 

Quote

"From the time we're born, people start putting labels on us. If they're good labels, if they're God labels, if they're labels you can find in the word of God, grab hold of them. If they're not, reject them!"

 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me see myself through Your eyes. Give me the strength to release any labels that don't align with Your truth about who I am. Thank You for making me Your child and giving me a royal identity in You. Amen.

Day 2: Standing Against the Enemy's Lies

 

Devotional

Every day we face a battle for our identity. The enemy works tirelessly to make us doubt who we are in Christ, attempting to replace God's truth with his lies. Just like he tried to challenge Jesus in the wilderness, he attempts to challenge our identity as God's beloved children. We have the power to stand firm in our identity when we recognize these attacks for what they are - desperate attempts to separate us from God's truth. The enemy's lies have no authority over your God-given identity.

 

Bible Verse

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." - John 10:10

 

Reflection Question

In what ways has the enemy tried to make you doubt your identity in Christ?

 

Quote

"The devil doesn't want us to walk in God's purpose, but only God gets to define who we truly are."

 

Prayer

Lord, thank You for exposing the enemy's lies. Help me stand firm in the truth of who You say I am. Strengthen my faith to resist doubt and embrace my identity as Your beloved child. Amen.

Day 3: Embracing Your Divine Heritage

 

Devotional

When you accepted Jesus, you received more than just salvation - you received adoption into God's family. This spiritual DNA gives you access to all the privileges and promises of being God's child. You're not just any child; you're a child of the King of kings. This royal heritage isn't something you earned or achieved. It's a gift given through your relationship with Christ. Your heavenly Father delights in you, and has given you full rights as His heir!

 

Bible Verse

"Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God." - John 1:12-13

Reflection Question

How might your daily life look different if you truly lived as a child of the King?

 

Quote

"The enemy wants us to question who we are, and to doubt God. He wants us to forget that our Father is a King. Not just any king, but the King of kings and the Lord of lords."

 

Prayer

Father God, thank You for adopting me into Your royal family. Help me live each day conscious of my divine heritage and the privileges You've given me as Your child. Amen.

Day 4: Living Out Your Identity

 

Devotional

Our beliefs about ourselves shape our actions and decisions. When we truly believe what God says about us, it transforms how we live. We must align our thoughts with God's truth. The labels we accept become the reality we live. It's crucial to intentionally replace false labels with God's truth. Your identity in Christ isn't just a nice label; it's meant to be lived out daily through your choices, words, and actions.

 

Bible Verse

"For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." - Proverbs 23:7

Reflection Question

What specific actions can you take today to start living out your true identity in Christ?

 

Quote

"The labels you hold onto and start to believe are the ones you'll live out."

 

Prayer

Lord, help me live in alignment with who You say I am. Transform my thoughts and actions to reflect my identity as Your child. Give me courage to walk in this truth daily. Amen.

Day 5: Maintaining Your Identity Through Faith

 

Devotional

Walking in your true identity requires faith, especially when circumstances don't align with who God says you are. Faith means holding onto God's truth about your identity even when you can't see it manifested yet. It means praising Him in the storm and trusting Him in the valley. This journey isn't always easy, but it's always worth it. As you consistently spend time in God's Word and declare His truth over your life, your identity becomes more firmly rooted in Him.

 

Bible Verse

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." - Hebrews 11:1

 

Reflection Question

How can you strengthen your faith to stand firm in your identity when facing challenges?

 

Quote

"Faith is when you praise God in the storm, trust Him in the valley, and follow Him in the dark."

 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, increase my faith to stand firm in who You say I am, especially during difficult times. Thank You for being faithful to complete the good work You've begun in me. Amen.
