"Do not be conformed to to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)
For so long, I struggled with fully loving myself. I constantly compared myself, mostly because I didn’t know who I was. I thought I was defined by my status, personality, outward appearance, nationality, religion, possessions, habits, and other peoples opinions of me. I felt captive to insecure, defeated, fearful thoughts. Little did I know, I was never able to find my identity in these things because identity isn’t found in yourself, things, or people. Its found in God. I realized, finding myself meant I had to un-become everything I thought I was and build my foundation in Christ.
Lasting change require new ways of thinking. Thoughts determine how you feel and how you feel influences your behavior. In other words, change requires new thinking patterns. We change the landscape of our mind with the truth of our identity in Christ. When we choose to renew our mind with God’s word, we understand our authority and power, revolutionizing our lives.
For those wanting to dismantle your limiting beliefs, below are some false beliefs I struggled with and biblical truth to rewrite your story. Awakening your true identity is a journey. Its not going to come over night. The process is part of the plan so embrace it and give yourself grace. I love you but God loves you more!
