Who am I? My Identity Part 2
Dealing with the Orphan Heart
Navaz shared this message on June 1st 2025, at Word of Grace Church Pune, a Born Again, Believer’s, English-speaking community.
We are all uniquely shaped, with different personalities and temperaments. We are also gifted differently by His manifold grace. Last week, we examined our identity and how God has shaped us for a larger purpose than just ourselves. God’s design for us is to be a part of a much bigger and grander design. So, no matter what we do in life, it all fits into an eternal purpose. Our job is to discover what part we play in God’s master plan.
Some things to keep in mind:
For a Christ follower, there is no secular and sacred divide: everything we do has a purpose. Also, God has shaped each one of us uniquely, and we need to celebrate our differences: the introverts, the extroverts, the planners, the spontaneous, the thinkers, the feelers, the intuitive, the rationalists. God made us all!!
Last week, we examined how, throughout life, we adopt false narratives of ourselves. We examined how the world’s worldviews and belief systems can infiltrate our Christian thought and mask themselves in Christian language. We examined how we all have broken identities, and our alienation from God the Father has created an orphaned planet.
We all carry a father wound that needs healing. Please listen to last Sunday’s message if you were not here last week.
