I am who I am because He loved me

Identity. That's one of the many things people get confused with these days. Some base it on their achievements. To name a few: Titles. Last names. People surrounding us. The amount of money on our pay checks. Past. Present and Future. But is that who we really are? When all of this are gone, then who are we? All of the above are temporary things..When all of this fades, do our identities also fade?
