Unveiling My True Identity: Exploring the Meaning Behind 1-30-26

I was blessed to get my Real ID with no problem at all. The requirement: for each document, the  names had to match (be exact).

I took four documents and everything was smooth and quick, praise the Lord. Provisions were made for people in our community to apply online and on certain dates and time, they would go to a mobile unit that was parked at the Borough; what a blessing indeed; I live about three minutes from the site. Thanks to the Borough and others who made this possible for those who were approved.

I was concerned about other seniors who did not have the same provision as I had. Some were physically handicapped and had to be transported to NJMVC, which was very inconvenient and even frustrating.

My other concern was if I could have everything done on that day; to get my Real ID and my upcoming driver’s license renewal. When the question was asked, no one could answer it until it was time for me to pay and the cost was stated, the question was asked why $35.00.

The agent said this includes everything, And that was license is to be renewed in  four years.

I guess you know, I was thanking the Lord for working this out; it was an answer to prayer that others also interceded on my behalf. The Lord not only answered the prayer but He also moved quick.

You have read the story about my Real ID – There is a difference between a Real ID and a standard ID; the Real ID has a star on the upper right corner. This gives citizens certain rights or privileges that the standard one does not. Starting May 2025, U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities. This was issued by the government for people with driver’s license and those with ID cards.

This is the part I love!

While pondering this in my heart, I felt that the Read ID would be a great way to compare the Federal government’s Real ID to my TRUE identity (ID). It has to do with my spiritual life (true identity) and the eternal reign:

1)      My true identity is in Christ who validates me as one of His own. He is the One who the wise man was led to by the stars . Our future is this:

Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever (Daniel12:3).

In the present time we still shine on this earth,  Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16).  

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him (Matthew 3:1-2).

2)      There’s more! For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And

His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

How about you? Are you secure and safe in the Christ who made it possible for you to shine like stars in His government?
