Confessing the Old Identity

from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen

What is the single hardest word for you to say? For some of us, it’s "I’m sorry." For others, it’s "I was wrong," or perhaps even "I need help." But if we look beneath the surface of our daily lives, many of us find that the hardest thing to admit is simply who we really are when the masks are off. We spend an enormous amount of energy trying to project an image of success, competence, and goodness. We want people, and we want God, to see the polished version of us.But true transformation never begins with the person you are pretending to be. It only begins when you have the courage to stand in the light and declare who you actually are.
