Scripture
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
For years, you may have answered the question "What do you do?" with a title, trade, or responsibility. When that answer changes, it can feel as if part of you has vanished. But your deepest identity was never your role. Christ lives in you, and His love is not reduced when your work life changes. You are still someone God loves enough for Christ to give Himself for. You are still invited to live by faith. That identity cannot be retired. Let the old title become one chapter of a larger testimony, not the measure of your worth. The life Christ lives in you can shine in a kitchen, a church pew, a waiting room, or a conversation no one else notices.
Reflection
If my value is rooted in Christ, what changes about how I see myself today?
Prayer
Jesus, free me from defining myself by what I used to do. Let Your life in me be my truest name. Amen.
One Small Step Today
Finish the sentence, 'Because Christ lives in me, I am still...' Read your answer aloud as a declaration of identity.
