Who Am I?

by Janise Copeman

Today, we are so fascinated with finding out who we are. With the explosion of ancestry.com or DNA kits, we all are so curious to know more about what makes us tick. People do a family tree and search way back to find out more about their heritage, which may take hours or even years of researching.

Sometimes, we think we know ourselves, which may be good or bad depending on how we view ourselves, our selfesteem, and other circumstances that we are faced with. Other people can see us differently and see things in us that we

never are even aware of. That’s why we have to ask the Lord to examine us, since our own views may be damaged from people, circumstances, past failures or successes and more.

You may have had so many words spoken over you, especially negative ones, that you start to believe them. Sometimes we are just a collection of our circumstances. How we see ourselves can be so involved with who we had as parents or as siblings, where we grew up, and under what circumstances/surroundings that we dealt with.

It is so true that we can be completely opposite of our families, but so often we can hear things like, “wow you are just like your mother, or your father.” Or people say, “the grape doesn’t fall far from the vine.” That’s why it is so important to ask the Lord to examine us and not compare to who and what others are doing. Sometimes, I see myself one way and when I read His Word, the Lord challenges me to be more like Him, which is my daily desire.

Our best role model is Jesus. We cannot compare ourselves with anyone greater or more admirable example of a person to walk after. Then there are times, to feel accepted, or under peer pressure, we may try to fit into a mold or be something we are not, or were never meant to be. How sad it is to feel pressure or expectations, when we were never meant to be a cheap imitation or replica of someone else, but instead we were designed our own unique person. We have to be true to ourselves and the Lord, asking Him what is it that He wants to do in our lives. We are all created so perfectly, woven in His hands and we are always being molded and shaped like clay. For He is the potter, we are the clay. We need to ask the Lord to melt us and mold us, into who He wants us to be.

I encourage you today, as I myself ask the Lord to examine me, that He would show you how He sees you, that He would heal you, and you would find your true identity in Him. If you have never known the Lord in a real, personal relationship, I encourage you start a fresh and new beginning with Him, allowing God to mold you and make you into what He has for you.
