IDENTITY

For a long time, I struggled with the idea of identity. I thought who I was came from what I did.
What I enjoyed.
What I was good at.
What people knew me for.

I wrapped my worth around my skills, my interests, and my passions. So much so that when others did similar things, it felt personal—like they were copying me. Looking back, I can see it clearly now: it wasn’t confidence, it was insecurity searching for worth.

I didn’t realise then that who I am is far greater than what I do.And the same is true for you.

Identity Is Not What You Do

At some point, I had to confront the truth: the foundation I had built my identity on was fragile. Jobs change. Roles shift. Seasons end. Skills evolve. And when those things move, if your identity is tied to them, everything else shakes too.

It wasn’t until I began listening to the Word of God and truly reading my Bible that I realised something profound:

I am not who the world told me I was.
I am not who my insecurity told me I was.
I am who God says I am.

And that identity is unshakeable.

Known Before I Was Born

Scripture reveals something powerful about who we are:

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
— Jeremiah 1:5

There was a you before the womb.
A version of you created in God’s heart before you ever took your first breath.

I realised that my journey on earth wasn’t about creating an identity—it was about discovering the one God had already established.

Royalty Living on Earth

A revelation came to me unexpectedly through The Chronicles of Narnia. Someone explained how Edmund struggled because in Narnia he was a king, but on earth he was “just” a schoolboy. The disconnect hurt—because he remembered who he was meant to be.

And suddenly it clicked. That’s us.

On earth, we may not hold titles.
We may feel overlooked.
We may live ordinary lives.

But in heaven—we are royalty.

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession.”
— 1 Peter 2:9

We are not of this world.
We have a home in heaven.
And what the world sees is not always what God created.

Royal Identity Comes With Responsibility

Being a daughter of the King isn’t about status—it’s about service. Even without earthly titles, we are still called to royal duty. Whether God has placed you as a teacher, a cleaner, a student, a mother, or a leader—your assignment matters.

Jesus Himself understood this. He knew who He was, and because of that, He served fully wherever the Father sent Him. Royal identity doesn’t remove humility—it produces it.

An Invitation to Remember

This page exists to remind you of something you may have forgotten:

You are not lost.
You are not small.
You are not defined by what you do.

You are a daughter of the King, discovering who you have always been. And as you grow in your identity, you’ll find that insecurity loosens its grip—because you no longer need to prove who you are when you know whose you are.
