Daily Scripture:

See what love the Father has given us that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. (1 John 3 v 1)

Daily Reflection:

Discussions around the word 'identity' are frequent, and identities can change. As an adult your identity is not the same as when you were a child. If you have changed jobs, perhaps your identity has changed too with the specification of your work. I have been a gardener, a cleaner, a cook, a manager, a carer and many more 'identities' in my adult life! I still am, and always will be, a mum. But does what we 'do' become who we 'are'? I think not. The Bible tells us that in God's eyes we have one identity only - we are all 'children of God' - created by Him, cared for by Him, extraordinarily loved by Him. Any other identity we may assume pales into comparison with our identity as 'child of God'.
