December 29
"Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!" 1 John 3:1
Who am I?
The question we all ask.
We don’t understand this.
We hide behind a mask.
Look beyond what’s outside.
Gaze deep inside and see.
God was the designer
When He formed and shaped me.
Yes, God created me.
It was His perfect plan.
To be in His image,
That’s how it all began.
To be a child of God,
That’s what He wants of me.
Someone who calls Him Father
And obeys Him faithfully.
God is still perfecting.
He molds me with His grace,
But I’ll only be complete
When I meet Him face to face.
("From My Heart")
I was born on December 29 at 9:53 pm in Oklahoma City. Since then my life has been quite an adventure. From kindergarten to my master’s degree and beyond I have not stopped learning about who I am and about life. What is life? What does it mean to have life? It is composed of physical, emotional, and spiritual characteristics. There is natural life, abundant life, and eternal life. Life is breath. Our first breath and our last breath are given to us by God. He alone knows the time, place, and details. It is our choice to make decisions between those breaths. We can live for self or we can live for God. One leads to death and one leads to a life of inspiration, faith, and hope. Who am I? I am a child of God.
