Do you want to know what a great modern tragedy is? To be born an original and die a copy. You were made for such a time as this. You were uniquely created for this time. Too often, we lose ourselves in trying to be someone else.

As I shared in Leave Bad Advice In 2023, you have to know who God created you to be and accept advice that lines up with your God-given identity. Your God-given identity will not contradict God’s Word. Your God-given identity is essential to walking out God’s plan for your life.

If you try to be who you are not, your life, family, business, career, and ministry will never rise to the level God has called it to. When you embrace your God-given identity, you will overcome all symptoms of imposter syndrome. Don’t become a copy of someone else. Be who God has called you to be.

Here’s a simple step forward in embracing your God-given identity: take what you know about who God has created you to be and what He has called you to do, and write it down. Then, identify with it. Look in the mirror and say, “I am who God says I am. I can do what He says I can do.”

As you practice this step, you’ll grow. You will be emboldened to make changes you need to make. You won’t be afraid of self-disruption. To continually grow in understanding your God-given identity, daily read His Word and pray the Ephesians 1 prayer.

You are here for such a time as this. We all need you to be who God has created you to be. Have a wonderful day.
