What's your birth Certificate Say?

There are many things that i unbeknowingly accepted as a part of my identity strictly from my parents. My large snoz, dark hair, affinity for the Spanish and the like. However one of the hardest things to realize is that when i became an adopted Child of God i got a new birth certificate. Just like in real life when a child is adopted they recieve a new "identity" of sorts in the family they are now a part of. Unlike the natural picking up though of the habits, joys, loves of that family we as believers must fight with everything we have just to hold onto the true identity of myself.

Can i look back at God's certificate on my life and accept myself as beloved....always? That's who i am and who you are. Straight up. I am not the sum total of my good + bad behavior. I am not who i say/think i am. I am not made up completely of what others think/percieve me to be. I am one thing...beloved
