Am I growing or eroding in who I am becoming?
A wise woman grows in understanding who she really is. A woman who knows how God sees her is confident in her identity. She knows God made her just the way she is and for specific tasks.
She does not compare the inside of herself with other women. She makes the effort to grow in her knowledge of the truth of what God says about her.
A woman who understands who she is in God’s sight knows she is:
Accepted (Ephesians 1:5)
Secure (Philippians 1:6)
Significant (John 15:16)
Her identity is not bound up in what she has, how she looks, or what she wears. Her identity is secured in who she is as a beloved child of God.
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).
Read Psalm 139 and ask God to fill your heart with the knowledge of just how treasured you are to Him. Ask Him to help you grow in your understanding of who you really are!
Father God,
Sometimes it’s hard for me to think of myself as a piece of Your artwork – created to be just who I am. Help me to embrace the knowledge of who You say I am! I know all too well the weaknesses in me. I invite You to use these very things that I dislike in me to be the entry points of Your strength and power in my Iife. I know You have things for me to do that go beyond this “to do” list of mine. Help me to be ready to give a kind word or a hug to someone today. Show me who You want to touch through me. Help me to live as an accepted, secure and significant child of the Almighty God today by the power of Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
Questions: What is your identity bound up with? Read Psalm 139 and ask God to help you grow in your understanding of who you really are!

Hii everyone! i’m from méxico city and I’ve been following Gail’s devotionals long time ago, God always speeks to me trhoug them! Gail thanks God for your life, this devotional help me a lot to know the kind of girl i’m for God, and God you’re amazing, how could I not be in love with you, you bring love to my life ’cause you’re love, bring light ’cause you’re the light, you’re the life…. only you can fill my soul the way you do. thanks God!!
Yes great devotional Gail. What a wonderful visual to compare ourselves to a piece of artwork. As I continue to become more aware of my flaws, I like the way you point out that we can use our flaws to become even closer to God and give him the opportunity to work with us to improve those areas. I enjoy reading your devotionals because there isn’t a lot of fluff and they get right to the point of what I need in my life for that day. TheTheir timing is always perfect. Thanks and God Bless all of you.
I have been so encouraged by this word today. I thank God for finding this devotion.
