Living from Identity, Not Insecurity
Share
(How to See Yourself the Way God Sees You)
When you’ve experienced family dysfunction, it’s easy to believe the lie that something is wrong with you.
Maybe you were treated like an afterthought.
Maybe your voice was silenced.
Maybe love was conditional—given only when you “earned” it.
But here’s the truth: Your worth was never tied to how others treated you.
Why Insecurity Takes Root After Family Pain
Family is meant to be the place where we first learn that we are valuable, loved, and safe.
When that foundation is shaky—or absent—it leaves gaps:
-
If your emotions were dismissed, you may struggle to trust yourself.
-
If love was inconsistent, you may strive endlessly for approval.
-
If comparison ruled your home, you may battle constant unworthiness.
But here’s the good news: What was broken can be rebuilt—on a stronger, eternal foundation.
Isaiah 43:1 — “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.”
God knows your name. He calls you His. Not because of what you do—but because of who He is.

What Your True Identity Is in God’s Eyes
You are:
✨ Chosen (1 Peter 2:9)
✨ Loved with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3)
✨ Fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)
✨ Accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:6)
✨ A new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Your identity is not “the rejected one,” “the overlooked one,” or “the burden.”
Your identity is Beloved. Redeemed. Called. You are perfectly placed by the God who makes no mistakes.
