What Does the Father Think of Me?

A Truth to Hold On To:

Your identity in Christ will never be defined by the world.

The world says:

• You are your job.

• You are your past.

• You are your performance.

• You are your mistakes.

But Jesus says:

“I make all things NEW — including you.” (Revelation 21:5)

Unidentified

YOU ARE NOT…

Your past.

What people have said about you.

What you’ve said about yourself.

A job title, a degree, or a relationship.

In Christ, you are made NEW. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
You are a child of God. (John 1:12)

What the Father Thinks of You

“God has good plans for me. My future is full of hope and peace.”

2. God knew me before I was born.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
— Jeremiah 1:5

Confess:
“I am chosen and known by God. I am not an accident. I have a purpose.”

3. Nothing can separate me from God’s love.

“Nothing… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

“If a man has 100 sheep and one goes astray… he goes after the one.”

Whenever you feel weak, lost, or confused — go back to the Word.
The Bible is not just a book — it’s your lifeline.
Every verse is God reminding you:
“You are mine.”

“Jesus said: I will never leave you or forsake you.” — Hebrews 13:5
