I can't believe I let my mind and the devil keep me confused so long about who I am personality wise. Thank God they couldn't keep me confused as who I am in Jesus. Thank You Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit for making me free to be me. When I stay in you I need not fear of being me.

A Victory Story

I am who I am until the day that I die.

I accepted Jesus, and the devil said, " that's a lie!"

I am who I am only that the filth is washed away.

Because I accepted Jesus, and the devil said, "that will be the day!"

The Lord restored to me the parts of me that were still good.

I am so glad I accepted Jesus, the devil said, "I never thought you would."

I am who I am but most of all a child of  God!

No longer confused about my identity the devil said, "it's time for me to hit the sod."

As the devil stomped off  that day in an angry huff.

I heard the Lord say to me, "In Me you are who you are. Remain in Me and you'll always be good enough."

I am who I am until the day that I die. And the Lord keeps adding on to that.

I am so glad the devil is gone away.

Because to be who I am and more like Jesus is where it's at.

If the devil ever returns he will hear me say,

 "I am who I am a child of  God so you better scat!"

Free To Be Me

I have asked myself  all through life, "Who am I ?"  And all through life I have been different things. Some good and some bad. This question never goes away for ever, because it is a part of growing. It goes hand in hand with the question, "What am I ?" And I usually probe further and ask who or what would I like to be? Now that I have the Lord in my life I ask, "Lord who or what do You want me to be ?" Then I usually pray, "Lord help me to be who or what You want me to be." "I trust You help me to full fill the plans You have for my life." Amen. Today I asked myself, "Who am I what am I ?" The answer came back a cowgirl, a country girl, a pioneer girl, and a back to nature girl. A wife, a Christian, a friend, a neighbor, a witness, a child of  God. "What do I want to be?"  All those things and trust worthy, loyal, faithful, true, Christ like, help full, uncomplicated, loving, and understanding. "What does God want me to be?" All those things and to be open to becoming more as I allow Him to have His way with my life. You see I use to be afraid of the parts of me that still remained after Jesus came into my life. The cowgirl, the country, girl, the pioneer girl, the back to nature girl. I had read when you accept Jesus that you become a new creature. You have to do away with the old self daily. This is true, but I didn't realize that Jesus was going to take These old parts of me and make them new too. Sure there are some things that I was that He has totally done away with. Such as the alcoholic, the drug addict, and worse. But these other things that I was had some good and He has helped me to see that. This has helped me to see that He really did and does love me, the deep down inside me, the part that all these years has been part of who and what I am. The cowgirl, the country girl, the pioneer girl, and the back to nature girl. Yup they are all part of me but I can no longer say girl because He is maturing that part of me into a woman. He is taking that and cleaning it up and making it new too. What peace! To know who and what I am! What joy! To watch and see what God will add to that!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, He restores my soul; He leads me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake. Psalm 23:3, The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10
