I Choose Today to take on the persona of Christ

We live in a society who has a social media persona; one that we want others to see, admire, emulate, and dare I say envy. We get so caught up in who we are or competing with and envying others, that we lose our true selves. Or worse, we hide our true selves.

I mentor a group of Moms once a month. During our last meeting, a mom said she sees all the bad things she does, bad thoughts she has, and does not see any good in herself. She was believing a lie about who she was in Christ; a child of the King! She was looking at herself through the world’s eyes, through Satan’s lies, and not the reality of her royalty.

I reminded her of how God sees her; through the lense of Christ: His sacrifice, His perfection, His mercy, His grace, His love, His salvation.

God had to teach me these things because I didn’t hear them while growing up. I heard that I was dumb, stupid, and would never amount to anything. I learned I was invisible; not worth the time.

But God… so loved me. God saw me. God showed me I was worth sending His only Son to have a relationship with me. God showed me He couldn’t wait to spend time with me and that He longs to hear what I have to say. I am a child of the King and so are you.

This is what God says in His Word about you and me, “And in love He chose us…Because of His great love, He ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in His eyes with an unstained innocence.“Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬b

When we embrace that “God-view” and not the world-view, we can start to believe who God says we are; a beloved, chosen child of the King. Then we show society our Royal persona; one that we want others to see, admire, emulate; the persona of God’s beloved child because that is who we are!
