PHFactors that influence your identity:
1. Circumstances are the things that happen to you and around you—none of which you control. You are a product of the trauma, troubles, suffering, shame, shock, pressures, and pain that have shaped your life;
2. Consciousness is how you talk to yourself. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life” (NCV).
Though it’s true that your thoughts shape you, it’s also true that you can change the way you think. Romans 12:2 says, “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think” (NLT).
But, moving forward, the way you respond to your circumstances and the thoughts you choose to believe will shape the rest of your life.
* Remember: Your circumstances may be out of your control, but God is in control of everything.
