D EDICATION
When both a husband and wife live their lives reflecting their true identity in Christ, there is no more beautiful example of unity no more inspiring display of God s design for marriage. Such is the case with
Beth and Bob Stapleton
What a joy to know a couple who long ago surrendered their lives to the Lord, trusting Him with their future. As a result, they have continually been conformed to the character of Christ. Despite inevitable trials, Bob and Beth s faith has grown stronger-and sweeter-with each passing year.
In this world, it is special to know even a handful of people whose lives so brightly radiate the love of God. But to know two, united in marriage, is a rare privilege.
I believe that here-and in heaven-there will continue to be a host of people who will say, Beth and Bob, thank you for enriching our lives. We have consistently seen Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).
A CKNOWLEDGMENTS
With deepest appreciation to:
Pat McKay-for your delightful creativity from day one
Sandy Menken-for typing each word even through the night
June Page and Keith Wall-for your wise help at the very last minute
Jill Prohaska and Angie White-for your finishing touches always with a smile
And to my dear friend, Dorothy Patterson-no one has encouraged me more to write and write and keep on writing to present God s truth for today s problems!

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ
(E PHESIANS 3:16-18).

About the Author
A Personal Word from June
D ear Friend,
Can you imagine what it would be like to be married to exchange vows to unite your hands and hearts? Now joined together as one, you and your bride drive to the airport, full of excitement about your honeymoon.
But before boarding the plane, you realize: Oh no my wallet! Racing to return to the car, you yell, I ll be back, honey-right back!
She waits, and waits, and waits until the plane leaves and your new bride is still left waiting. She s frantic now. After a thorough search of the airport and all known familiar spots, her new groom seems to have vanished!
Such is the true case of Sean McNulty, who was found three days later-wandering disoriented bug-bitten from head to toe. He didn t know his beloved Amy. He didn t know his own mother. He had amnesia-he didn t know his identity.
Identity . What would it be like to not know your own identity-to have spiritual amnesia? If you don t know who you are, you cannot experience deep inner peace and complete contentment-for instead, confusion reigns.
Sadly, this is how many people live today-they simply don t know who they are. But you do not have to live this way. The key is to learn to see yourself through God s eyes.
What if you simply don t know how God views you? The 31 daily devotions in this book will help you see your God-given worth and will remind you that, as a believer, you are very special in the heart and mind of the One who made you. Are you able to accept the truth that you have precious worth?
It might help to ask yourself, How is the worth of an item established? Let s assume you are at an auction. Item after item is presented for sale and item after item is sold-not always to the same bidder, but always to the highest bidder. To the one willing to pay the highest price.
Consider this: Jesus paid the ultimate price for you when He came to earth as a man, willingly died on the cross, and paid the penalty for your sins. Jesus Christ as God did not have to redeem you. But He loves you so much-you are so valuable to Him-He willingly paid the highest price.
Without a doubt, you have great worth in His eyes!
By meditating daily on the scriptures you read over the next 31 days, you will see your worth. As you train your mind to focus on the truth about yourself, your emotions will be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2).
In your heart, commit to faithfully do these spiritual exercises take time to soak up all their truths. Then these Scripture passages will begin to saturate your heart, transform your thinking, and help develop the true picture of who you are from God s point of view, the true point of view.
I want this to be an encouraging study for you! My prayer is that as you meet with God, you will take to heart His precious perspective of you. I pray that your emotions will be steadied and your heart will be secured because you will have begun to see yourself through God s eyes.
Yours in the Lord s hope,

June Hunt
What Is Your Identity?
E very person born into this world has had difficulty with identity at some time or another. All of us have struggled with our self-image.
Many spend a lifetime manipulating acceptance and attention from others, thinking they are building an indestructible tower of self-worth. Yet when people fail us and our logical expectations of our loved ones fall painfully short, our own self-worth can begin to crumble.
That s exactly the problem if we let our identity be in another person -we give that person too much control of us. And more so, we miss the vision God has of us and the immense value He places on us. The steps to
