Five Lies of Identity

I thought it was worth posting this from Henri Nowen, one of my favorite authors.

The Five lies of identity:

  1. I am what I have.
  2. I am what I do.
  3. I am what other people say or think of me.
  4. I am nothing more than my worst moment.
  5. I am nothing less than my best moment.

Aren’t we glad this is not the way God sees us.

God chooses us and loves us just the way we are.

Blessings,

Thora

  1. So accurate and thought worthy. Often times I don’t even realize that these are the thoughts I’m having that are wreaking havoc on my emotions!
    Thanks for the share.
