00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:08.320
<v SPEAKER_00>There's so much in this world that tries to define us.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:17.039
<v SPEAKER_00>Success and failure, approval and criticism, what we accomplished and what we don't.

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:29.600
<v SPEAKER_00>It can feel like we are constantly exposed, measured, compared, or evaluated, but let's remind ourselves of what God tells us in Colossians 3, verse 3.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.600
<v SPEAKER_00>It says, For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:42.399
<v SPEAKER_00>Hidden, secure, covered, protected.

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:49.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Your true life is not fragile in the hands of a public opinion.

00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.880
<v SPEAKER_00>It is held safely in Christ.

00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Today, we remember where our identity is kept.

00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:04.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a moment to thank God that your life is secure in Him.

00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:20.799
<v SPEAKER_00>Praise Him that your worth is not exposed to the shifting standards of this world.

00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.360
<v SPEAKER_00>My life is hidden with Christ in God.

00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.560
<v SPEAKER_00>I am secure in Him.

00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:46.960
<v SPEAKER_00>I do not have to prove what God has already declared to be true.

00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.560
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank you, Lord, for holding my life safely in your hands.

00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:08.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
