Who Am I?...Tuesday

4/21/15

Last weekend our Women's Focus Fifth Annual Retreat happened up in Twain Harte, CA. The focus or the retreat was being "CHANGED." One of the presenters talked about looking at ourselves truthfully and seeing ourselves as God sees us. We should only look to Him to see who we are are and not to judge ourselves by comparisons with others or by what they show they think of us. It reminded me of a poem that I wrote more than ten years ago. I am pasting it below.

Am I who you think I am

Peeking at me through those rose colored glasses

Believing I can do no wrong

Dancing down the roads of my time

To achieve a perfect life?

Or….

Am I who I think you think I am

Watching me fall over and over

Judging that I will never succeed

Hobbling down the unpaved roads

To disembark in failure?

Or….

Am I who I think I am 

Looking at my underbelly

Knowing all the bad choices

Racing down roads traveled in error

To places I should not go?

Or….

Am I who I think I am 

Considering some of my better actions

Aware of what good I have done

Traveling down the higher road sometimes

To where His warmth is felt?

Where is the real me in all of that?

I am all that and more...

I am who my Creator thinks I am

Glancing down from the height of heaven

All knowing of who I try to be

Leading me beside waters still or churning

Toward the safe haven He has offered me.

Always look to God to find out who you are and then keep being it.. He smiles approval on you when you see yourself as He sees you.
