Who Am I - Casting Crowns

Who Am I ?


Are you someone that asks, "I am unable to be loved by those around me,as imperfect as they are,how could I possibly be loved by one that is perfect?" Then you bunch up with sympathizers who feel the same thing, the same way, only to make you think your thoughts and feelings are justified. Close your eyes, picture the most beautiful person you know, inside and out, slowly open your eyes and say out loud over and over again, " I am beautiful." Sound crazy? Been there done that and you know what I finally realized? I could no longer slap the face of Christ by thinking so little of myself, because "He doesn't make junk"...and by thinking so little of me, that was exactly what I was saying...was it easy...NO..I had to fight my way through the crowd...having true Christ followers as my friends...letting them show me how they didn't judge me for anything I had done and neither did He! He knew me before I ever knew myself. He knew when I would fall, He knew all the things I had done and would do. All he asked, was for me let go of my shame, let go and let Him! Let Him love me, let Him heal me of all the wounds of my life. All that would be left would be scars, but they wouldn't be scars saying "Look at how bad you were/are...but scars to remind me of just how Great HE is!

Isaiah 49:16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.
