Who Am I?

The Lord resolved my identity crisis.

Who Am I?

If you are low on self-esteem and trying to remember your value, the best place to look is to our Creator Himself. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, His opinion and intention should matter most. I was having a hard time remembering my identity and decided to start asking God who I was and what I meant to Him. I have compiled a list from the Bible where the Lord showed me who we each are. I hope reading this will feed your soul. I have found that reading this list daily to myself has begun to resolve my identity crisis.

1. Beloved

I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.

- Jeremiah 31:3

2. A Child of God

See what great love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called Children of God.

- 1 John 3:1

The Lord your God us with you, the mighty warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you.

- Zephaniah 3:17

By His wounds you have been healed.

- 1 Peter 2:24

5. Washed Clean

Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be washed white as snow.

It is for Freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then.

- Galatians 5:1

You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession.

10. A Co-Laborer

For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.

- 1 Corinthians 3:9

11. A Sweet Aroma

For we are to God the pleasing aroma among those who are being saved.

- 2 Corinthians 2:15

12. Strong

For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

- 2 Corinthians 12:10

13. Righteous

(v. 6) ...It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

- Romans 3:21-26

14. Conqueror

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

- Romans 8:37-39

15. Called

(v. 14) ...Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you...

- 1 Timothy 4:12-16

16. Precious

you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

- 1 Peter 2:4-5

17. A Lily Among Thorns

Beloved: I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.

Bridegroom: As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.

- Song of Solomon 2:1-2

18. Bride of Christ

You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.

- Song of Solomon 4:9

19. One in Christ

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

- Galatians 3:27-29

20. Chosen

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

- Jeremiah 1:5

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
