A while ago I was watching a video from Blimey Cow which is a youtube channel I watch. They always bring forth good topics and give great advise to people. In the video the guy talked about how we should not put our identity in whoever we are in a relationship with. If our identity is in the girl or guy we love when that person no long is a part of our life, what is our life? Do we know who we are?
Is your life based off of love? I would say that is a bad thing to do, but it isn't. The worth of making your life based off of love is really dependent on who you love.
Ultimately what or who you love most is your religion. If you love money most, your life is built around the gain of money. If you love girls most, you will build your life around attracting women. If you love security, you will do whatever you can to save yourself from harm. If you love God most, you will serve Him with all you have. If your life is based off of loving and living for Christ you are living as you are indented.
See, ultimately its not just a problem when we put our identity in our girlfriend or boyfriend. When the thing or person we love most doesn't fulfill our idea of what we need, or abandons our reach we lose who we are. When your identity is put into something or someone and that person or thing leaves you, you no longer have your identity.
However, when your identity is in Christ your identity is constant and secure. Christ will never leave you nor forsake you. You will never find one day Christ to not be there to comfort you, love you, or save you. If your identity is in Christ, if you greatest love is for Christ, you will never lose that identity.
Don't put your identity or your love into the things of this word. The world passes away, is imperfect, and will leave you for another, but Christ has no beginning or end, is perfect in every way, and will always stay with you. Christ's love will profoundly never end or run out, therefore your identity is true and constant if it is in Christ.
