Who Am I

In the Kingdom, every person has value. We won’t appreciate anyone’s value if we don’t appreciate our own. Our confusion is understandable. In the words of Casting Crowns (watch the video)  “I am a flower quickly fading; Here today and gone tomorrow; A wave tossed in the ocean; A vapor in the wind. In the totality of creation and the eternalness of time, we ain’t much.

You have to wonder:  Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth would care to know my name; would care to feel my hurt. Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star would choose to light the way for my ever wandering heart. We are caught in the cosmic confusion between our insignificance and the attention the Creator give us. We can vibrate between humility based on plain worthlessness and vanity formed by Godly focus.

Balance is essential. We need to understand not just our value, but the reason for it. Not because of who I am, but because of what You’ve done. Not because of what I’ve done, but because of who You are. We’ve done nothing valuable. He’s done it all. Our value is based not on us, but on Him.

We have value. In a scary world, we can walk without fear. We have purpose and mission and the means to succeed in both, because of Him.

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
‘Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
