Nouwen Meditation: Accept Your Identity as a Child of God

"Now & Then" Podcast
Well-known Christian author and activist Shane Claiborne joins us on "Henri Nouwen, Now & Then," calling us to let love and justice be the signature of our lives in these challenging times.

DAILY MEDITATION | OCTOBER 4, 2020
Accept Your Identity as a Child of God
Your true identity is as a child of God. This is the identity you have to accept. Once you have claimed it and settled in it, you can live in a world that gives you much joy as well as pain. You can receive the praise as well as the blame that comes to you as an opportunity for strengthening your basic identity, because the identity that makes you free is anchored beyond all human praise and blame. You belong to God, and it is as a child of God that you are sent into the world.
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

1 JOHN 4:4 (NIV)
