Today is Tuesday, April 29th, 2014; Karen's Korner #2802

Our Sunday School lesson on Sunday had two topics; one of them was referring to God-esteem of us, rather than self-esteem. One class member who has a past history of working with youth, said that 'not knowing who we are for sure, is especially prevalent in middle school-agers'. He shared with the class a bookmark with a long list of "Who I am in Christ?" entries, under three headings.

No matter our ages, sometimes we need to be reminded 'who we are'. Today's Karen's Korner is the first heading, reminder, and Bible verse to back it up:

Who I am in Christ?

"The more you reaffirm your identity in Christ, the more your behavior will begin to reflect that identity." ~ Adapted from Victory Over Darkness by Neil Anderson
