You and others around will go through constant change and transition.

Your beliefs will change. Your attitudes change. And you have little control over big things in your life.

If my identity is found in being right then expect a fight.

I have to fight you so I can feel peace. I become more attached to the particular nuance of my beliefs than resting in the faith and care of Jesus. (That just summed up much of the Christian infighting that occurs.)

What if you were able to be you for who you really are…with Jesus? What if you didn’t have to have all your beliefs lined out? What if God accepted you in Jesus regardless of your faith and doubts?

I feel like my pursuit of Christ is dirty with direction. I seek Jesus. I move towards Him (realizing He moves towards me). I often leave the Bible with more questions than I had when I started. But that’s ok. Lord I believe. Help my unbelief.

The core of my identity isn’t having all the answers. It’s not even knowing all the questions. The core of my identity is that I am loved and pleasing to my Father. Experiencing that reality over and over allows me to be more attached to God as fully revealed in Jesus rather than the divisive points of Christianity.
