Thought of the Day January 14, 2025 My true identity
Reflecting further on the Baptism of the Lord, we see that Jesus came to a clearer realization in his humanity of his identity: Beloved of the Father. Our baptism, in turn, gives us a clear understanding of our true identity. We are not only the son or daughter of our parents, which is our natural DNA, but we are the adopted son or daughter of our Heavenly Father, which is our spiritual DNA. The question we have to ask ourselves everyday is am I living in my relationship with the Father or like the Prodigal son, separated myself from God? Though I may deny or reject my human parents and do the same with my Father, I will always be the child of my parents and the child of God. Even if my parents do reject me or disinherit me, God will never reject me. I am his eternally, even if I am not with him eternally. The more I can embrace my identity and live out of that identity, the more at peace will I be with myself. Be who you are.
