Summary
One of the best ways we can be used by God is by simply being ourselves. The identity Christ has given us as daughters and sons is meant to shine forth and be a witness to those around us. May you be encouraged today in your identity in Christ and freed from any unnecessary weight you’ve been carrying.
Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 5:16, and today's worship is Fresh Wind by Hillsong Worship.

What started as a daily email devotional in 2015 has grown into a worldwide movement of over 2.6 million men and women connecting with God every day through our app, First15 Worship, Primeros15, our Spanish-language platform, our podcast, and live and virtual events.
That’s millions of people encountering God’s presence — and being used by him to transform our culture.
Today, you can help fuel this movement by becoming a First15 Monthly Partner. The amount you give is up to you — just knowing you’re investing to impact more lives for Christ is what matters. Go to first15.org/monthlypartner to give now.
