The way we view ourselves and the way others view us have profound impacts on our sense of identity. In our series looking at Image and Identity, we are looking this week at the influence our past experiences have on our identity. Am I what has happened to me? Am I defined by my past? As we look at these questions, we examine the life of Joseph; and we see how he is transformed in life, not just by circumstances but by the power of God.
Scriptures:
Genesis 37:2-8; 18-30
Genesis 39
“You can’t always control circumstances. However, you can always control your attitude, approach, and response. Your options are to complain or to look ahead and figure out how to make the situation better.”
