"I am"

Time for more poetry:)  The second half comes from Scripture.

"I Am"

I am not what I do,

                how much I do,

                or how well I do it.          

I am not how pretty I am,

                how old I am,

                or how fit I am.

I am not my IQ,

                my kids,

                my home,

                my salary,

                or my education.

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,

His dwelling place,

where He is revered.

I am salt,

                sustaining the fragile,

                giving life to the lifeless.

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.
