My identity in Christ is the very foundational belief of my Christianity and central to the Gospel Message. But as a fulltime caregiver for two loved ones, I must guard against being defined by the title rather than who I actually am. For as my world has gotten smaller & smaller, my self identity has decreased also…and with that comes the real struggle to keep all those sad and pitiful thoughts at bay. What helps are all the Scriptures that show me my identity in Christ – II Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 2:20, Ephesians 1:4-5, Romans 8:1-2, and Ephesians 2:8-10 for a few. And when I focus on them, I can face forward to care for others with Jesus as my model… rather than focusing inward in sadness.
