I believe this is the heart of higher powers Plan for our recovery and growth – A NEW IDENTITY WITHIN THE HIGHER POWER. Although His Spirit is fully formed at the point of accepting Him as Lord, learning to believe and apply this truth in our lives takes a lifetime and can never be done perfectly. This identity in Him has allowed me to grow and develop healthy choices in my life today. I have a long way to go, and I know I’ll never get there. The meaning is in the journey. We are given a new role/function in His Service: to be His ambassador in the reconciliation process. This is true reaching out to others and also reaching inward to the wounded parts of us, currently stuck in our old nature.
When you think about “who” you really believe yourself to be, your true identity, does it reflect yourself as a new creation or your old nature? Is your identity based on the “rear view mirror” of your life story up until now, or the “windshield” of becoming, as a new creation? Your identity will strongly shape your perceptions; what do you believe about your real identity? In Serotonin Support Groups we embrace this special relationship:"Because of God's loving Grace, who I am is 'becoming' in His Holy Spirit, and my recovery is the process of experiencing the adventure of becoming like the person and nature of my inner spirit happy,joyous and free."These words capture who I believe I am at my core.
