S4 EP10 | Identity Series: The Body Image Bondage. Part 3 of 4
Do you find yourself constantly struggling with body image? Staying out of pictures, chasing the next diet fad or just generally preoccupied with your appearance?
So many women struggle with having placed their value and worth - and identity - into their image that they are too distracted to step into their TRUE identity as an Ambassador of Christ.
What Do We Need to Look Like?
Where is your validation coming from? Are you checking your heart over your appearance? Your account is not checked by your appearance, but by your heart and its subsequent actions. We are called to look like Jesus in our hearts and in our actions.
Godly Ambassadors
Worldly ambassadorship has standards that are always changing and you will not be able to keep up.
We are called & appointed to be ambassadors of Christ.
Questions to ask yourself in the pursuit of Godly ambassadorship:
What does it look like to steward your life as an ambassador?
What preoccupies your mind and thoughts?
With whom do you identify with?
Who are you trying to please?
How does your heart look?
The Heart of the Matter
YOU are His greatest creation and it has nothing to do with your physical looks and everything to do with your heart.
He is after your heart.
We have the ability to be impactful for the Kingdom if we stay focused on our calling and purpose over being distracted by our appearance.
Affirming Truth - My identity and worth is not found in my outward appearance, but my appointed calling as an ambassador for Christ.
