I know …

💭 Reflect
If you don’t know who you are, what do you know? The Lord who made you and sent you knows the truth about you: You are made in His image. You are precious and loved, You have a purpose and a reason for joy. Your identity is given by your Maker. Live in it. 

📖 John 1:6-7
“God sent a man, John the Baptist, to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony.”

❔ Questions

• Why did God send John? (To do what)
• John was not the light, but he had to witness it – what does that mean to you?

🙏 Talk to God
My Heavenly Father, I am not the true Light, but thank You for _______ me to witness about the _____________ in word and action. Amen. 

📢 Identity statement
Say it out loud: “I know my identity.”

🎨 Respond
Draw a self-portrait and write Scripture verses about your identity around your face.

🤳Social media
Who is willing to commit to 7 days of sharing Jesus? The rules are as follows for everything you post to social media or your status: no self-glorification, no gossipping or being mean, just letting your light shine.

👥 People
Is there a teacher or older person nearby who might have forgotten their identity is found in God. Share with them: “I just wanted to say, God loves you very much.”
