5 MAY 2024 · Good Evening Beautiful People!   Welcome to Before I Sleep, an evening devotional podcast to help us grow closer to God. Welcome to the season finale week! This week we are discussing identity and purpose and I am so excited. I gave you a lot of scripture today and I listed them below along with the journal prompts. Journal Prompts How do you define identity? Does identity change? What or who determines your identity? “So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “So, then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household,”‭‭ Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭19‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “By his own choice, he gave us birth by the word of truth so that we would be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.”‭‭ James‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.”‭‭ 2 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭18‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “I will praise you because I have been remarkably and wondrously made. Your works are wondrous, and I know this very well.”‭‭ Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭14‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.”‭‭ Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬ ‭CSB‬‬ What is purpose? Do you think that you were born for a purpose? Do you know your purpose? “And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the one who died for them and was raised.”‭‭ 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭15‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.”‭‭ Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭CSB ‬‬“He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.”‭‭ 2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born. I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”‭‭ Jeremiah‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in your book and planned before a single one of them began.”‭‭ Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭16‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “But I consider my life of no value to myself; my purpose is to finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.”‭‭ Acts‬ ‭20‬:‭24‬ ‭CSB ‬‬“Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.”‭‭ Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “Many plans are in a person’s heart, but the Lord’s decree will prevail.”‭‭ Proverbs‬ ‭19‬:‭21‬ ‭CSB‬‬ “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”‭‭ Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭19‬ ‭CSB ‬‬“He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬  Don't forget to subscribe to the newsletter.
