Devotional Many people spend their lives trying to earn what God has already given them. They try to earn approval.Earn love.Earn significance.Earn purpose. But God doesn’t start with what you do. He starts with who you are. Before Jesus performed a miracle, preached a sermon, or healed a sick person, God declared: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” His identity came before His activity. The same is true for you. You are not your mistakes.You are not your past.You are not your failures.You are not your bad habits. You are a child of God. The goal of these 40 days isn’t just to lose weight, wake up earlier, or build better habits. The goal is to become more like Christ. Reflection Question What labels have you been carrying that God never gave you?
