A.I.: Artificial IdentitySample

When was the last time you felt freedom? Was it when your friend got their license? When your family left you home alone? When you finally graduated high school? Freedom comes in a lot of different ways, and Jesus points to something here that always brings freedom: the truth. When we believe things that aren’t true about ourselves or others, it will always leave us boxed in. Instead, as followers of Jesus, we get to bring the truth to every space that we are in—the truth about who God says we are and what God says about others. Authenticity takes honesty, so it isn’t always easy. But authenticity brings freedom, so that makes it worth it. You won’t have to be defined by an identity that isn’t real; instead, you’ll get to live out of the freedom that the truth brings.

Today, spend some time in prayer, asking God to show you what true freedom looks like and to give you the courage to live authentically in that freedom.
