We as women have so many titles...wife, mother, cook, janitor, nurse, taxi driver, the list goes on and on. And most of us, after marriage and the kids, somehow take on the title, but forget the person who plays the role. It's easy to forget your identity and one day wake up and not even know who you are.
I can remember feeling that way once I realized my marriage was falling apart. I had put so much emphasis on being Mrs. Steele, I forgot the importance of being Kelley. And I completely forgot that before my parents named me, Jesus knew my name.
Jeremiah 1:5 says "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..."
Knowing someone isnt just hearing about them, or seeing them around. It speaks of relationship on an intimate level. I was amazed once I realized that God not only created me, but he knew me, and still loved me. I understood that I belonged to God and that His love was unfailing and unending. Once I took that scripture in Jeremiah and made it my own, I found it easy to begin to like myself enough to care about how I was doing and what I was doing with my life.
I wanted to know more about me by learning what God had to say about me. And I pray you do the same thing. Why? Because who you are determines what you do.
