But even we Christians struggle with the demons of our past. The voices that tell us we are horrible, unworthy of love etc. But to find that God has no judgment on us, even if we have ALL the judgment in the world upon ourselves, to find that God trusts us to be great, to accept he loves us without condition - is when we find our identity. If we Christians believe the voice of truth and refuse to believe the lies our past has fed us, that is where we find our identity, our place and purpose in this world and in God..
(Haha, and now everyone will think I am a lunatic :-) But I am just a person with an identity in Christ!)
I am glad you have a counselor who shares your faith, I know how wonderful that is.

Yes, identity in Christ is our security and comfort in difficult times. It's what I hold onto when I hate everything, including myself.
