047 – Identity Crisis: The Story You Tell Yourself

It’s true that everything that happens in our lives shapes us. All of it becomes our story, and we tell it to help others know who we are. The problem is, we can allow the story we tell ourselves to define us. All the hurts, losses, failures, and even the wins and pride can become our identity. Although we are the eyewitness to our life, we can skew our story to fit what others think of us. We can interpret everything that happens or that we do as confirmation of our own preconceived judgement of ourselves. What we’re telling ourselves can get in the way of God’s version of our story.
