Who Am I? Discovering Identity and Purpose When You Feel Lost

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered, Who am I, really? You’re not alone. Many people in Live Oak and beyond are dealing with an identity crisis, battling low self-esteem, and searching for direction and purpose in life.

We live in a time when everything from social media to success metrics tries to define us. But when those things shift—or when we don’t measure up—it can leave us feeling empty, unworthy, and unsure of who we really are.

But what if your true identity wasn’t something you had to earn or figure out? What if it’s something already spoken over you by the One who created you?

Your Identity in Christ

When life feels uncertain and your self-worth is shaky, Jesus Christ offers a foundation that doesn’t change.

12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:12–13 NIV)

Through faith in Jesus, your identity is redefined. You become a child of God—loved, accepted, and called according to His purpose. No more striving to prove your value. No more living under shame or insecurity. In Christ, you are chosen, forgiven, and free.

From Confusion to Calling

You may be asking:

• Who am I?

• What’s my purpose?

• Why do I feel so lost or insignificant?
  
  

The answer isn’t found in fame, success, or external validation—it’s found in the God who made you, loves you, and invites you to walk in His purpose for your life.

10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10 NIV)

You are not an accident. You are not a mistake. You are not what the world says about you. You are God’s handiwork, and He has a purpose for you.
