"I Am" student version

I am not what I do,

                how much I do,

                or how well I do it.          

I am not how pretty I am,

                how young I am,

                or how fit I am.

I am not my GPA,

                my SAT score,

                my weight,

                my complexion,

                or my teeth.

I am not my phone,

                my profile pic,

                or my Facebook status.

I am not drum line,

                football,

                dance,

                track,

                or show choir.

I am not my failures or successes,

                my weaknesses or strengths,

                my regrets or dreams.  

                                                                               

I am a child of God,

                created by Him,

                in His image,

                to do His good works.

I am a sinner

                made into a new creation,

                free and forgiven,

                if I confess and turn away.

I am part of the body of Christ,

                and my body is His temple.

I am salt,

                preserving the weak,

                adding flavor to the bland.

I am light,

                showing others the goodness of God,

                that they may praise Him.

I am loved

                despite life and death,

                good and evil,

                present and future,

                mountains and canyons,

                power and weakness;

I am loved.
