As a young Christian woman living in a world of social media, one of the most common questions I hear is, “How can I become more like Christ?”

There are many ways to answer this question, but one of the most robust ways we have is our own self-talk.

What we say to ourselves on a regular basis can have a significant impact on our thoughts, feelings, and activities.

That’s why I want to talk to you about the power of labeling yourself with godly traits.

When we label ourselves with godly traits, we are essentially speaking God’s truth over our journeys.

Instead of allowing negative self-talk to take over, we are intentionally choosing to focus on the positive attributes that God has given us.

This can include traits such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, which are the fruits of the Spirit.

Scripture tells us that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. (Romans 12: 2)

When we label ourselves with good traits, we are actively changing our minds and aligning our thoughts with God’s truth.

And we are reminding ourselves that we should strive to be more like Christ and the identity that God has given us as His children.

When we identify ourselves as patient, for example, we are more likely to exhibit patience in our interactions with others.

When we identify ourselves as loving, we are more likely to show love to those around us.

By focusing on these positive qualities, we are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts, where our thoughts and behaviors align with the labels we have chosen for ourselves.

Too many people nowadays think negatively about themselves.

They take on too much responsibility and blame themselves for everything.

But this isn’t what God would want us to do.

We should treat ourselves just like we treat the people around us, with love and patience.

As you go about your day-to-day, I encourage you to give more attention to your self-talk and the labels you are placing on yourself.

Are they uplifting, or are they negative?

Remember, becoming more like Christ is our goal.

Let’s choose to label ourselves with these godly traits.

And watch as God transforms us from the inside out.

God Bless
