Who I Am

Then Moses asked God, “If I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ what should I tell them?” God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.” – Exodus 3:13-14

I never imagined a world when we create the identity of who or what we want to be. Women identifying as men; men identifying as women; kids identifying as dogs or cats, going to the extreme by requesting schools install litter boxes for them in the bathrooms.

What?!?! … How in this world did it come to this?

We can say we identify as something we aren’t, but the brain and DNA in our bodies know the truth. DNA does not lie. I can say I identify as 130 lbs and am a famous model, but you know that’s not the truth. I know it’s not the truth, although I wouldn’t mind being a famous model if I can still eat chocolate.

The point is, God made us and He knows who we truly are. He knows who He wants us to be.

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made … My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. – Psalm 139:14-16

God had a plan for us before we were born. And, yet, we take that life and twist it into something that is not meant to be. We will never find the peace we long for until we surrender to God and His purpose. We are not animals no matter how we ‘identify’ ourselves. I don’t care what others ‘identify’ me as; I know my identity. I am a child of God, and I love my Lord, Jesus Christ. That’s who I am; that’s my identity. I pray you find that identity, too.
