Identities, where'd they all go?

Well, today I was just playing some songs on the guitar and one of them was "Identity" by Sarah Elizabeth. And the lyrics are something like this....

I've been looking in this mirror for too long
To see what I can change to somehow belong.
I hide the imperfections, cover up the weak.
Until I like the person looking back at me.

If I am in Christ
Then that is where my identity lies.
A new creation is what I want to be
So I will overcome these insecurities.

I'll take off the make-up, let the whole world see
Exactly who I am and all the flaws in me.
But with his grace sufficient, all I'll ever need.
His power is made perfect when I am weak.

If I am in Christ
Then that is where my identity lies.
A new creation is what I want to be
So I will overcome these insecurities.

I will boast when I am weak.
Let the power of Christ live in me.
I will boast when I am weak.
Let the power of Christ live in me.

It is just such and amazing song! A lot of the problems in today's world are caused by people not knowing who they are, or who they are supposed to be. Today we are hammered by all the wrong morals and told that things that don't glorify God are what we should focus on. For example, looks. Media slams us, both girls and guys, with unrealistic ideals of how thin we should be or what the "perfect" person looks like. Truth is God made you and he made you perfect in his sight!
                      The reason so many people fall for this lie is, they don't know who they are in God. Many people don't even really know him. Like this song, the writer says "If I am in Christ, then that is where my identity lies". That is so true. Christ gives us all a purpose and shows us who we were and who we can be. The rest is up to us. And the only way to find who we are is a relationship with him. Not just one where we come back every once in a while. One that is always growing. A relationship that leads your life.
                       Finding your identity in Christ is this. Have you ever heard anyone talk about looking like Christ, or bearing the image of Christ? The closer to God you are and the more you live your life by him, the more you look like him. Eventually he becomes your identity, or part of it. A line from another song says "I will seek you, until you and I become one."

People's identities and truth have been thrown into the background because of the lies we are fed today. Only in Christ can we find ourselves.
