My Own Topic- Identity, Rawley

The things that we idenify with most of the time define us. If someone puts everything that they have into something, it becomes their indentity. We see that a lot in the movies that we watched in class. Our identity is a very powerful trait. Everyone believes in something. Even people who do not believe in a higher power they are still believing in something, even if it is the lack of something. People can believe in science, in nature, in multiple gods, or in the Lord. We learn that people believe in things because they want to belong to something or they want meaning in their lives or they want to fill a spot where something is missing. Identifying with a belief gives meaning to ones life, having something to live for is the most common purpose for believing in something. I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ. I believe that He is God in human form that came to earth to die for me so that I could be with Him forever and ever. This belief in my reason to live, something to belong to, and fills a void in my life. Since I believe so strongly in something, it became my identity. It was not also though. I used to want to be indenified by my athelticism, my popularity, the idea that everyone liked me, or with being a good friend. All these things did not last or completely fill a void in my life; they were all things that could be taken away. Finding your identity in something that is unchanging, permanent, and could never be taken away is what we should believe in. Looking back and finding that eathly things will not satisfy me, I found something to live for. People might not always find their identity in Jesus the way that I have, but everyone is indentified with something.
