Trust Who You Are

What a mind-full this title represents.  TRUST WHO YOU ARE!

So, the obvious question is this … Who are you really?

You are not the names that others have attached to you down through the years.

~You are not your mistake.

~You are not a helpless, dumb not-so-bright entity.

~Nor are you a stinko, louse, low-life, trouble maker or any other label that has been attached to you.

I've born a few labels.

You’re an accident looking for a place to happen.

You don’t know what you’re doing.  Get away from that thing.

You are too loud.  Calm down.

Slow down.  Are you stupid or something?

You and I are better than any label we've ever come near. 

Here is what you and I are. 

   Made in the image of God

      The one Jesus loves

         A redeemed one

            An invited one

               A cherished child of God

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote a song in 1982 and I think it fits perfectly for such a post as this.

Verse

Never be ashamed if you’re not the same as the others.

What you’re meant to be is the very best thing by far.

You’re a special plan cut from an original pattern

So hold your head high and remember just whose child you are.

Chorus

I’m somebody

I am somebody

I’m created in the image of God

And I’m somebody

I’m somebody

I am somebody

I am loved

I am His child

I’m important to Him

Be encouraged today.  Perhaps it is time to trust who you are and whose you are.
