Who am I?

Who am I, Jesus
That You call me by name

I am counting the stars
On Your Blackened sky
You call them all by name,
You know them all by sight
In this sea of lights
I sense Your majesty
And I break at the though that One so great
Could care for me

Who am I, Jesus
That You could call me by name
What could I ever do
To be loved this way
Who am I, Jesus
in Your eyes, tell me who am I

I am counting the mountains
That I've laid at Your feet
And I'm reduced to tears when I think of how
You've moved them for me
In this storm of life
You've been my safe retreat
Through the wind and the fire You always were there
To carry me

No greater honor could I ever find
Than the privilege to love You for the rest of my life

I am accepted....
Ephesian 1:3-8 I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of Gods's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

I am complete in Christ.....
Colossians 2:9-10
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.

I am God's workmanship....
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

I am created in Christ for good works.....
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

I am chosen and ordained by Christ to bear fruit.....
John 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name.

I am chosen of God, holy and dearly loved....
Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.


I am a child of God who always triumphs in Christ and releases His fragrance in every place....
2 Corinthians 2:14
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.

The tangled web we weave


Psalm 19:14 - Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight Oh LORD my Rock and my Redeemer.


It's been driven home to me lately how important are the words we speak. And even the words that we don't speak. If we are to live in integrity and honor even the words that we don't speak can cause harm.

Recently I have acted in a way that was not honorable to the people in my life. I knew that if they found out what some of my actions were that they would be hurt and fell betrayed by me. And yet I continued in my actions. Of course I had my justifications for what I've done and how I convinced myself that I was blameless in all of it....in fact even as I write this I find myself going back over everything and finding myself blameless.

But if I am truly honest with myself I should have never done it. I should have put the others before myself and I should have given them the respect and honor due them.

So now, I'm in a tangled web of words and actions the I need to find a way out of. Lord, help me learn through this situation that I am to be more conscience of the words that are spoken and the words that are spoken through my actions. Help me to hold the people in my life as more important than I am and help me to use my words to show them that that is true.
