Your true identity

When we fail to live out of our true identity (our true self), we are living out of our flesh (our false self). We are then living with ourselves as our reference point. We are choosing not to acknowledge who we really are and who Christ is in us. We are choosing not to act like who we really are. That's a dangerous place to live. It's not real life, it's a fake. There's only one source you can truly live from, and that's God, your spiritual marriage partner, whom you are in union with. He's the only One that gives you your true identity.

Our true identity is not in the externals. Our false self's identity is in the externals, but our true identity is not.— The Rest of the Gospel: When the partial Gospel has worn you out, page 106

Again, the importance of your reference point. Is it you? Or, is it God? If it is you, then failure is guaranteed. If it is God, then you will succeed.
