"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 my way in my ever wandering heart. It's not because of who I am but because of what you've done. Not becuase of what I've done but becuase of who YOU are...."
I LOVE this song! It makes me cry everytime I hear it becuase this song strikes at the heart of why I gave my life to Christ.
On my own, I am nothing. God knew me before I was born while I was still in my mother's womb and loved me anyway. You might say, that it is easy to love a baby even an unborn baby. But God being God, KNEW me. Me in all my flaws, all my shortcomings AND all my strengths even before I did those things. He knows all that and loves me anyway! He yearns to have a relationship with me. The one who created EVERYTHING wants me to know Him and have a relationship with Him! How awesome is that?!!! I am made in His image. I was created for worship. I was created to follow Him and do His will. I was created to serve Him. I was created to learn about Him and then in turn tell others about Him. I was created to do all things to glorify Him.
Why? Because he made everything and still wanted to know my name. He wants to be my light and my way. It is not because I can "do" things and earn His love. It is available to me, I have to choose it. I choose it because MAN! Is it awesome to live like that instead of trying to make it on my own. I can rely on Him and His love for me to get me through each day. I don't know if you have noticed but this world can be horrible! Terrible things happen. How do these people get through it without God? I know I can't. I need Him. It actually very freeing (sp?) to be able to say that and live that. That is very contradictory to our culture.
The end of that song....."I am a flower quickly fading. Here today and gone tomorrow. A vapor in the wind. Still You hear me when I calling. Lord you catch me, when I falling. And you told me who I am. I am yours"
Thank you Lord for telling me who I am. Lord, my prayer is that I listen and obey.
