I Am Who God Says I Am

I believe in God because what he says about me is true. I am exactly who God says I am.

Within myself I feel the stirrings of the noblest aspirations, yet my ability to reach these is sadly lacking. In spite of my greatest desires, I cannot, through my performance, be the person I want to be.

“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9, NIV). “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Every moment of guilt, doubt, or anxiety is evidence that what God says is the best explanation for who I am. But if I stopped there, it would be tragic!

I am also profoundly and eternally loved, and so that I might never doubt it, God came down himself in the person of Jesus Christ, and gave his life for me.

God calls you, not just his friend, but his child; not just acceptable, but perfect; not just a guest, but royalty in His kingdom. And that’s in spite of yourself, and all because of Jesus.

I may have my ups and downs, but joy rules in my life, because I know who I am. And there is no better explanation for who I am, than the one Jesus gave me at the Cross. 

I am sure you have plenty of worthless cards in your purse or wallet. Why don’t you design your own ID card as a beloved child of God, accounted perfect through Jesus Christ? Write your favorite Bible promise on it. Carry it with you and take it out and look at it to identify yourself when you’re feeling down.
