who am I?

There is a song by Casting Crowns that goes:

"Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are...

...Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
Cause I am yours..
I am yours..

In Isaiah 43:1 God tells us...."I have called you by name....you are mine". This blog was inspired by Exodus 3:11, where Moses says to God : "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" and God answered Him "I will be with you...". In Psalms 27:1, it says: "The LORD is my light and my salvation-Whom shall I fear? We are God's children (those who have accepted him as Lord and savior in their hearts and follow him). There is nothing in this world that we may fear. We are never alone, Our father is always with us. In fact that is the answer He gave Moses in Exodus 3:12 He said :"I will be with you..." I can't help it but cry every time He reminds me of his love and faithfulness to me. He always catches me when I am falling. He will always catch you when you are falling. and like the songs also says: Not because of who you are, but because of what HE has done. Not because of what you have done, but because of who HE is. Our worth is in Jesus, because He created us, He paid for our sins, He loved us first. Think about this today. And remember that you are VERY much loved.
