Identity Rooted in God's Truth
Lysa TerKeurst emphasizes that one's identity should be anchored in God's unchanging nature rather than in life's unpredictable and often painful circumstances. She shares her personal struggles, particularly the rejection she felt from her father's abandonment, to illustrate this point. By aligning one’s identity with God’s truth, individuals can find stability and strength that transcend fleeting feelings and unstable life events. 'The beliefs we hold should hold us up even when life feels like it’s falling apart,' she writes, highlighting the importance of internalizing divine truths over external validations.
