WHO AM I?

[Sandra Mizell Chaney]

Have you ever wondered to yourself, “Who am I?” On the road to discovering my true self, I discovered that I already possessed everything I needed to heal and restore my battered and torn spirit. Before I received this revelation, however, I often just wanted to throw in the towel. I simply did not believe that I had anything of value to offer anyone. I was always looking at others and wishing I had what they had. Often I wondered what their secret was for having it all together. I wondered what made them so radiant, and me so dull. Then one day a Voice said to me, “I have what you need. Your search is over!” You see, that Voice was my Heavenly Father. “I have what you need, Sandra,” He told me. If only I could believe it….Who am I? I ask myself now. I am God’s daughter. I am utterly adored by the Creator of the Universe, who has blessed me with the mastery of everything within it. And the good news is this, sister: So are you! You are God’s daughter, too. You too have been blessed with all the gift of God’s grace. If only you can believe it….Robert Louis Stevenson wrote, “There is nothing but God’s grace. We walk upon it; we breathe it; we live and die by it.” His grace is sufficient. It is not something we earn. He gives it to us freely through our faith.
