Identity Before Change — Ephesians 5:1-9 Devotional
That exhausting space between old patterns and new intentions? Paul points somewhere unexpected. You are beloved children first, imitators second. Light learning to shine, not darkness trying to become light. Transformation flows from identity, not performance.
Between Who You Were and Who You're Becoming
You know that exhausting space between old patterns and new intentions. Where yesterday's habits feel stronger than today's hopes. Where you wonder if the person you're trying to become is even possible, or if you're doomed to keep circling back to who you've always been. Real change feels like trying to hold water in your hands, the harder you grip, the more it slips away.
Stop and read Ephesians 5:1-9. Read it on Bible Gateway if you'd like.
