My identity is found in Christ, the son of God who rose to life overcoming death.
The one who sacrificed himself for you and me, so that we could be free from sin and guilt.
He is not a distant figure, he does not tempt or lead me astray. He gives me a reason to smile, cheering me up on my saddest days.
I love celebrating every moment with him, like when my Mum became a Christian.
Sometimes I doubt, and I feel stupid when I do, because God always comes through.
I am not perfect and I constantly make mistakes, but he is still there loving and holding me.
He is the peace after a storm and a strong wind all at once.
I try to follow Jesus' example every day, through my actions and what I say. I want to accept and love others, despite what they do to me. Just as Jesus loved those who sent him to die. He suffered so much so that we could have eternal life.
My identity is found in Christ, the son of God, and a friend for all of time.
