Our society often emphasizes outward appearances and brands—whether through clothing, possessions, or even gaming skins—as a way to define ourselves or project an identity. However, true identity is found in Christ, who created us uniquely and with purpose. Instead of relying on worldly brands or personas, we should focus on covering ourselves with our true identity in Him. By renewing our minds through His Word and embracing who we are in Christ, we become the best version of ourselves. Our worth is rooted in our relationship with Jesus, not external possessions, and when we live out our true identity in Him, we shine His light to the world.
