Fiercely His

by Shannon Geurin

I was on my way to church, gripping the steering wheel like I was hanging on for dear life. My girls woke up cranky and tired.  Alex refused to wear the outfit I picked out and the Averee pooped all the way up and out of her diaper which caused me to change her outfit not once, but twice that morning. It was going to be one of “those” days.

The frazzled piece of hair that stubbornly made its way out of my ponytail refused to stay out of my face no matter how hard I tried to blow it away.

The whole scene was definitely a “Jesus take the wheel” moment. Actually, the whole year had been a “Jesus take the wheel” moment. John’s career had taken off and he was traveling more than usual. Not only that, the transition of one child to two was a bit more than I bargained for.

The mother I had become was certainly a far cry from the mother I dreamt I would be 3 years earlier. I compared myself to the mom next door. She seemed to have everything right. Her kids were always perfectly dressed and clean. They were always well behaved. And then there was me. I looked at her and saw my weaknesses.

My life had become mundane. I was wrapped up in being the good mother, making sure their every need was met.

The problem was that I forgot who I was. My identity was shot.

Maybe you can relate.

Maybe you feel overwhelmed as a Mom.

You’re not sure if you were cut out for this role.

Maybe you feel you’re not good enough.

Maybe you’ve made mistakes and wonder if you’re loved much less forgiven.

Maybe you fear that what someone did to you in the past

stole your value and identity.

 

Maybe you wonder if you’re good enough

to be a wife, mom, employee, volunteer,

sister, daughter, friend, woman.

 

So many questions.

Is this it?

Is this all my life is now?

I don’t know your story, but we share a common theme. We are driven by the search for true identity, a desire to be understood and appreciated for who we are. We have an innate longing to seek out something more.

The problem is, we look in the wrong places.

Our something more isn’t in being a Mother.

Our something more isn’t in being a Wife.

Our something more isn’t in being an employee.

Our something more isn’t in being a (fill in the blank).

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life’”(John 8:12 NIV).

Jesus knew who He was. People tried to beat his identity out of Him. They tried to kill it away. They failed. He’s our ultimate example!

“The only way you can counterbalance outside external pressures is to have an internal sense of satisfaction about who you are and who God made you to be. You discover who you are by knowing whose you are.” -Rick Warren

Remember Whose You Are

 

When I learned WHOSE I was, I found my true identity. It was only then that I knew who I was.

But there’s more.

How much better would our lives be if we actually lived out whose we are?

“But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12 (NLT)

 

You’re His, friend.

And as His beloved daughter,

you need to know that your identity is not found in what you do,

what role you play, or even your outward appearance.

I mean think about it: how much better would our lives be if we confidently knew the truth that we are His? Would it change the way we mother? Would it change the way we wife? The way we work? The way we volunteer? The way we (fill in the blank)?

When we walk in the truth that we’re His, everything changes. And when we stop at nothing to pursue that truth, we become bold, courageous, fierce.

And this is where the Fiercely His Challenge comes in.
