Identity Reflection

Embracing Your Identity

Your Attributes

You are a woman of value.

You have great worth.

Your identity if firmly sealed in who you are

as a Daughter of the King.

Day One

Your Unique Identity

Your true identity lies not in what you do, but in Whose you are. You are a royal daughter of the Most High King. You have royal blood running through your veins because the King of Kings lives in your heart. You have been intricately created and every hair on your head is numbered.

You are deeply loved and cherished by your Heavenly Papa. Nothing that you do this side of heaven can make you earn His love. He loves you just because you are you. He created your quirks and eccentricities. He loves your laugh. He melts in your smile. He is your biggest cheerleader and the broadest shoulders you have to cry upon.

He is jealous for you because He craves your love. He will never reject you because He loves you too much to ever turn you away. He has the best of the best ready for your life. He is all - all the time. He never tires of you, not for one minute.

With a Father as amazing as this, why do we struggle with knowing and feeling our true identity? Because the enemy is afraid of you! Yes, he is scared stiff! He knows when you walk in the knowledge of your full identity you are a wrecking ball to his plans. He knows you can take him out and put him into submission with the mention of one name . . . Jesus. He knows that when you are fully alive and aware and walking in the true knowledge of your identity that you are no match for him.

Reflection

How do you feel about who God created you to be?

But you are God’s chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world.

1 Peter 2:9 (TPT)

Prayer

Dear Father,

In this moment of profound reflection, I confidently seek Your divine intervention to transform my mind and align my thoughts. My inner narrative, tangled with confusion and distortion, has misled me. I am determined to find clarity and understanding, breaking free from mental turmoil.

I need You to liberate me from my mind's constraints as I fully embrace the life You have designed for me—a life filled with purpose, joy, and freedom. Guide me towards Your truth so I can fully experience the richness of life You intended for me, unencumbered by a misguided inner dialogue.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Day Two

A Closer Look at Identity

What happens when we walk in the knowledge of our full identity?

First, our flesh submits as we seek to glorify God with our whole being. Next, we are not afraid of the future and what it holds for our lives.

Then the comparison game ends because the only opinion that holds any weight is that of the One in whom our identity is hidden.

Finally, we face resistance because there is a war inside our being. But we have all the armor necessary to win the war when we walk with the knowledge of our true identity.

Sometimes in God’s grace, He allows the very thing we fear losing the most to be taken away to reveal that we have sought our identity in something other than Him. As He grows us in understanding that our true identity is in Him, we are then freed to enjoy and glorify Him in the unique ways He has created us.

Suffering gradually changes our earthly perspective into an eternal one.

Reflection

Are you looking for your identity outside of the Father?

Do you find yourself holding tightly onto something in fear that you’ll be lost without it?

And He chose us to be His very own, joining us to Himself even before He laid the foundation of the universe! Because of His great love, He ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in His eyes with an unstained innocence.

Ephesians 1:4 (TPT)

Prayer

Dear Father,

In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Day Three

What God Says About Your Identity

These scriputres speak truth about your identity. Read them over yourself.

You will bring God glory when you accept and welcome one another as partners, just as the Anointed One has fully accepted you and received you as His partner.

Romans 15:7 (TPT)

Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous love that He has lavished on us! He has called us and made us His very own beloved children. The reason the world doesn’t recognize who we are is that they didn’t recognize Him. Beloved, we are God’s children right now; however, it is not yet apparent what we will become. But we do know that when it is finally made visible, we will be just like Him, for we will see him as He truly is.

1 John 3:1-2 (TPT)

Now we’re no longer living like slaves under the law, but we enjoy being God’s very own sons and daughters! And because we’re His, we can access everything our Father has—for we are heirs of God through Jesus, the Messiah!

Galatians 4:7 (TPT)

I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex! Everything You do is marvelously breathtaking. It simply amazes me to think about it! How thoroughly You know me, Lord!

Psalm 139:14 (TPT)

But those who embraced Him and took hold of His name were given authority to become the children of God!

John 1:12 (TPT)

Have you forgotten that your body is now the sacred temple of the Spirit of Holiness, who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary. You were God’s expensive purchase, paid for with tears of blood, so by all means, then, use your body to bring glory to God!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (TPT)

Reflection

We have become His poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny He has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!

Ephesians 2:10 (TPT)

How does this make you feel?

Prayer

Dear Father,

I want to explore the beautiful mystery of my true identity and the incredible purpose You have designed for me! Sometimes, I feel lost as the world around me tries to shape who I should be.

Every day, I embrace various roles, yet I yearn to connect deeply with my authentic self—the person You dreamed I would become. I'm eager to peel back the layers that conceal my true identity and celebrate the unique gifts You've bestowed upon me.

Please guide me on my journey of identity-discovery! Help me listen to my heart and recognize Your divine signs in my path. Please grant me the courage to explore my inner self, confront my shadows, and glean who I am and why I am here for such a time as this. I wholeheartedly trust You and ask for Your hand as You guide me.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Day Four

What God Says About Your Identity

These scriputres speak truth about your identity. Read them over yourself.

So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are His lovers who have been called to fulfill His designed purpose.

Romans 8:28 (TPT)

So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.

Romans 8:1 (TPT)

Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by His blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of His grace.

Ephesians 1:7 (TPT)

So if the Son sets you free from sin, then become a true son and be unquestionably free!

John 8:36 (TPT)

Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and His demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!

Romans 8:37 (TPT)

Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by His divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of His goodness.

2 Peter 1:3 (TPT)

Little children, you can be certain that you belong to God and have conquered them, for the One who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world.

1 John 4:4 (TPT)

Reflection

You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been divinely chosen to be holy. Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others. Colossians 3:12 (TPT)

How does this make you feel?

Prayer

Dear Father,

I release all my worries and cares to You, for Your love for me is immeasurable. Lord, You are good, a steadfast refuge in times of trouble. You are always by my side, and I completely trust You. Father, Your power inspires me to find strength within myself, just as You do. I ask that You take everything You've prepared for me and use it for Your divine purpose. This journey is not just a passing phase but a deep and lasting commitment.

Without Your guidance, Father, I surely would have lost my way. The moment I cried out, "I'm slipping, I'm falling," Your loving embrace steadied me. You calmed my heart and lifted my spirit during my most overwhelming times. I keep my eyes on You. As I seek refuge in Your presence, please watch over me.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Day Five

Identity Reflection

So quietly before Jesus allow Him to show you that He knows everything about you: every time you were hurting, every time you were lonely, every time you were afraid. Let Him fill in all that was spiritually and emotionally missing at the time. Let Him come to those places in your life where even now you need His healing touch.

Let Him replace your glasses as you honestly ponder these questions.

Do you feel beautiful? If not, why do you feel worthless, and unaccepted, and unloved, or misunderstood?

Are there things in your life or from your past that have caused your identity to not be reflected correctly through your glasses?

Is it hard for you to imagine that your God-given identity?

Reflection

But you are God’s chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now He claims you as His very own. He did this so that you would broadcast His glorious wonders throughout the world.

1 Peter 2:9 (TPT)

Prayer

Dear Father,

When I don't see myself in the full knowledge of the truth of how I was created, you come and replace my glasses. It’s almost too much for me to fathom. Thank you that in this exchange you give me beauty for my ashes. Come by your Holy Spirit now, and reveal the lies that are altering my identity. Help me see myself with fresh vision in this moment.

In Jesus Name. Amen.

Day Six

Embracing Your Identity

When you fully embrace your identity, you know several things are the absolute truth in your life.

~ You have high value and worth.

You do not settle for anything less as a Daughter of a King.

~ You have royal identity and are born into a royal family. As a result of your royal identity, you are chosen and you have influence with those around you.

~ You shine, daughter! You shine in your identity not because it is earned but because it is your birthright. Your identity was sealed with your salvation.

~ You are unstoppable. Your limits know no end. The enemy has no legal authority to harm or touch you.

~ You never have to wonder if God is for you, with you, or listening to you. He is good all the time and He wants you to fulfill your destiny.

~ You have God-given authority because of Whose you are.

~ You are more than enough. Almighty God created you uniquely! You are an original!

Reflection

Do any of these statements feel false in your life?

You are a cherished member of the Royal family, do you know that? You have been given access to the fullness of the King’s provision and are lavishly loved by Him. You are a co-heir of the throne. Romans 8:16-17

Prayer

Dear Father,

I often struggle to feel loved and accepted. I have profound doubts about my worth and place in this world. It seems like affection and acceptance are always out of reach, slipping away like sand. I want to feel valued not for what I can do but for who I am. This longing for connection weighs heavily on my heart sometimes making it hard to handle my emotions.

Every day, I look for reassurance, hoping to feel embraced and cherished. Too often, though, I battle self-doubt. This struggle makes me feel isolated as if I am standing outside of love, watching others enjoy the acceptance I long for.

I want to understand what it means to experience unconditional love and feel that my life matters in Your grand design. These feelings are important as I try to find my place in a sometimes indifferent world. I am worthy of love and acceptance, and these feelings can become my reality. Please help me with this deep longing in my heart.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Day Seven

Your Attributes: This is who you are

You are fearfully and wonderfully made original.

You are so intimately aware of me, Lord. You read my heart like an open book and you know all the words I’m about to speak before I even start a sentence! You know every step I will take before my journey even begins.

You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness You follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. With Your hand of love upon my life, You impart a blessing to me. This is just too wonderful, deep, and incomprehensible! Your understanding of me brings me wonder and strength.

Psalm 139 (TPT)

I was chosen before the universe began. And He chose us to be His very own, joining us to Himself even before He laid the foundation of the universe. Because of His great love, He ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in His eyes with an unstained innocence.

Ephesians 1:4 (TPT)

You are a priceless treasure.

Now if you will obey Me and keep my covenant, you will be My own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to Me.

Exodus 19:5 (NLT)

I was chosen for this moment in time. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?

Esther 4:14 (NLT)

You have a God-ordained purpose.

I have a custom-made plan for my life. For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for well-being and not for trouble, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)

And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:10 (TPT)

I am a direct heir of the King of all Kings. For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, “You are God’s beloved child!” And since we are His true children, we qualify to share all his treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that He is and all that He has. We will experience being co-glorified with Him provided that we accept His sufferings as our own.

Romans 8:16-17 (TPT)

Reflection

How do you feel about being an original, priceless treasure who has been ordained with a God-given purpose?

Prayer

Dear Father,

Help me to stop and still as I embrace myself as Your beautiful creation, crafted with purpose and love. Looking in the mirror, I struggle to see my true reflection, often overwhelmed by self-doubt and harsh judgments. I find it challenging to acknowledge the unique qualities and strengths You have given me, focusing instead on perceived flaws that cloud my perception. I long to embrace my individuality and appreciate the intricate details that define me, just as You intended.

Please guide me in transforming my perspective so I may see the beauty in my imperfections and my true godly character. Teach me to celebrate my journey and understand that my worth is defined not by external standards but by the love and grace You provide. In moments of reflection, please help me find peace and acceptance, recognizing the Divine artistry of my existence that was given to me by my Dear Father.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.
