Who I Am

I was driving over a large bridge and looked down to see that someone had spray painted, “I don’t even know who I am.” Of all the things that could have been written this one was a surprise. Very honest. How many people feel this way? With the words playing over in my mind I arrived at the store and was led to believe the answer is too many. Two young women employees were trying to be men in appearance and mannerisms. There was also a middle aged man dressed in woman’s clothing with lots of makeup and over sized hoop earnings. These people weighed heavy on me. Humans are made in the image of God. We are all created with unique and wonderful traits specific to how we are formed. Yet, sadly these people are stuck and deceived at the very basic reality of being male and female. There is so much depth and beauty we offer when we are living as we were specifically and purposely designed. We all should honestly examine ourselves to be able to truly state I know who I am.

Jesus is the eternal God. The great I Am. “Through Him all things were made.” (John 1:3) Every human through all of time can say, “I am created by God,” but sadly many don’t accept Him as their creator. “Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12) Therefore everyone with faith in Jesus can also say, “I am a child of God.” Respect for the Lord in relation to who we are is just the beginning of our wisdom. This is where our identity comes alive. Yes, I am a daughter, wife, mother, friend, etc. But most importantly I am chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, saved, sealed and so much more. The mystery’s of God are made known to His children. The truth is made known. We no longer live by illusion. The eyes of our hearts are opened to see His great power. We are truly alive through Him. We bloom. Holy and blameless in His sight. We are able to say I’m a child of God and priceless to my All Mighty Father - that’s who I am.
