Do You Know Who You Are?

There are so many images and ideas constantly bombarding us. Companies, Hollywood and our communities attempt to persuade us to believe we are one thing or another.

Sometimes we reach a time in our life, when we stop from all the activity and wonder:
"Who Am I?"

You may be a mother, father, wife, husband, sister, brother, pastor, banker, democrat or republican...but is that all there is? Do any of those titles define: Who We Are?

Here are some things to ponder:
1. God created you in your mother's womb.
Jeremiah 1:5 (New International Version)
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [a] you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
2. God knows the number of hairs you have on your head.
Luke 12:6-8 (New International Version)
6Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies[a]? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
8"I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God.
3. God has plans for your life that are full of hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
4. You are more than a conqueror.
Romans 8:36-38 (New International Version)
36As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."[a] 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[b] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

Who am I? Who are You? When you are a child of God, you are a child of the King.

Our time on this earth is short. Use your life to touch as many lives as you can. Be God's vessel. Today and everyday, surrender to Him and say..."I Am Yours."

Scriptures for your day:
Isaiah 41:10 (New International Version)

10 So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.


Zephaniah 3:17 (New International Version)
17 The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing."

1 Thessalonians 1:4-6 (New International Version)
4For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, 5because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. 6You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.
