Finding your identity

Have you ever heard anyone say "Your teenage years are all about finding your true identity." Well I know I sure have! Being a teenager is when you first begin to make decisions and have opinions of your own. Creating your own identity is so difficult when you know so little about the world. People try to identify themselves by the amount of things they have, or the kinds of friends they have. Your identity shouldn't be found in other people or things. We often are tempted to become (incognito) and disguise ourselves as someone else. Having the latest IPhone or the newest car can make you a "cool" person for a little while, but after a while the thrill wears away. Identifying yourself with things can make you a very discontented person. If you find your value in the newest thing, you will always be searching for the best thing to make you a better person. Finding your worth in God is one of the most important things to do in a Christians life. Once you can be pleased in what God has given you and how He has made you, you can become content. Contentment is something people search for their whole lives for, and never find it. Once you stop looking for contentment and face your eyes upon Jesus, you will thirst no more for the things of this world.
