A friend and I were hanging out the other night, and the told me, “I’m sad a lot.” I asked her why, and she told me, “I find my identity in boys. When boys like me and are interested in me, then I am happy. But when boys aren’t interested in dating me, I’m not happy. I cry myself to sleep at night.”
I told her, “As long as you find your identity in temporal circumstances or relationships, you will never experience real, lasting happiness. True satisfaction and contentment comes from finding your identity in Christ—letting Christ shape your identity, and then living out that identity in your daily life.”
This is something that I believe to be true.
It is something I’m slowly learning to truly live out.
