Fallen Masterpieces: understanding Identity

"We live in a culture that is consumed by self-esteem. We tell our kids, 'You can be anything you want to be!' But that's a lie. The reality is, you can't be anything you want to be. You can only be what God wants you to be. And if you're not careful, you'll waste your whole life trying to be something that God never intended for you to be.

We need to stop telling our kids that they can be anything they want to be, and start telling them that they need to be the thing that God wants them to be. We need to stop focusing on their felt needs and start focusing on their real need—a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

This is the only way they'll ever find true fulfillment. This is the only way they'll ever find true purpose. And this is the only way they'll ever be able to make sense out of this crazy world we live in. So let's stop lying to our kids and start telling them the truth. Let's stop telling them that they can be anything they want to be, and start telling them that they need to be the thing that God wants them to be."

― Voddie Baucham, "Family Driven Faith”.

Jesus is the answer.
