“Our identity is not in our joy, and our identity is not in our suffering. Our identity is in Christ, whether we have joy or are suffering.”
“We do not behave out of our identity, we behave out of our understanding of our identity in Christ.”
“Here is the major life question: Does our experience create our identity ... or does our identity create our experience?”
“The suffering that started off challenging our being and our ideas of what life is and should be ends up opening our heart, expanding our identity, and connecting us forever to the human family and life.”
“Our vocation is not simply to be, but to work together with God in the creation of our own life, our own identity, our own destiny....To work out our identity in God.”
“Our identity rests in God's relentless tenderness for us revealed in Jesus Christ.”
