Think about this identity:
I have been chosen to be part of the operation of this Kingdom that is not of this world.
I'm the son or daughter of a Father who knows because He has written my story. I am the object of His perseverant, unyielding, transforming grace, and He will not cease until that work is done.

I have been chosen to be part of something bigger than the small borders of my own life, to submit everything I am and everything I have to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. I’ve been blessed with continual forgiveness and daily cleansing.
