In a culture saturated with questions about identity, the one thing Christians often forget is their spiritual identity as children of God.
Author Melisa Ortiz Berry helps us realize the names God has given us, both familiar ones such as Forgiven and Chosen, and others like Poem, Daylight, and Teammate. As children of the Most High, we need to understand that He is our Father, our Papa who loves us deeply.
In God Has Named You: 25 Spiritual Identities to Reveal Who You Are, you will discover:
- Why remembering who we are as God's children changes how we live, love, and lead
- How healing and growth begin with receiving identity from God
- The power of Scripture to give us new names that bring healing and comfort
- Ways to let faith speak into identity confusion in today's culture
- How knowing God as a loving Father restores security, peace, and belonging
- Why people who are hurting need affirmation and Scripture
- Devotional practices that are rooted in Scripture to transform both personal and communal faith
"You are not just a creation flung out in space, the random byproduct of divine indifference," Melisa says. "God wants you to know that He sees you as His child. You are someone very special to Him, and He wants to have a relationship with you."
When we focus on who God is and who we are to Him, we can find joy and inner peace.
