Letter 25: Identity Crisis — Who Am I… Really?

This is Letter 25 from Rescue Mission from Heaven.
If the world has shaken everything you thought you were, this letter is for you. Jesus doesn’t just rescue you—He rebuilds you in truth.

IDENTITY CRISIS
Who am I… really?

When the foundation I trusted crumbled,
I lost my place—
who I thought I was,
the comforters I clung to.
Everything I believed to be steady—safe—secure—fell away.

But God was there, doing something deeper than I could see.
He was peeling away the layers of labels, attachments, and false securities—
to rebuild me in Him alone.

That pain?
It broke me.
But it also brought me face to face with the only One who could hold me together.

When there was nothing left to hold on to,
I reached for Jesus—
and He never let me go.

Now, years later, as I see the world shaking too,
that same ache.
The masks we once hid behind—
religion, reputation, comfort, control, culture—gone.

In a moment, everything people thought made them “somebody” collapses.
But my prayer is this:
That in the midst of the shaking and the loss,
many will finally find their true identity in Jesus.

Not in who they were.
Not in what they lost.
But in the One who was always reaching for them.

Even in the shaking.
Even in the loss.
Even now.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, when everything falls away, help me stand firm in who I am in You. Strip away every false identity and rebuild me in Your truth. Let me find my worth, my purpose, and my hope in You alone. Amen.

Action Step:

Write down the labels and identities you’ve carried—the ones the world gave you or that you gave yourself. Surrender them to Jesus.
Ask Him to show you who you really are in Him.
