Who Am I?

The Psalms have always fascinated me. This biblical book is chalked full of every sort of emotion you can think of. As a habitual writer, I'm often drawn to the simplicity of inspiration found within the biblical text. Here is something I penned years ago that I think illustrates the wrestle each of us face on a daily basis...the quest for the answer to and root of our identity crisis. I hope you enjoy and I hope it sparks some life, encouragement and conversation in each of your lives!!

Who Am I?

I crave definition.

Thirsting for meaning and hope

I plunge headfirst into this world of darkness…

My hands are trembling,

The blood is surging through my veins as I stand back and watch him receive what I long for.

Why do You choose him over me?

What have I done to endure Your shadow?

I’m removed from the light of Your face.

This anger burns within me,

This rage consumes me;

I’m blinded by my ambition to be seen.

NOTICE ME!!

Meet me where I am!

Shower Your love and blessing upon me.

PICK ME!!  CHOOSE ME!!

I long to be where You are.

Marred by my disgrace, how can I ever return to You?

The very thing that I crave is completely removed from my grasp.

I cannot reach You, and yet I still thirst for You.

You…my true identity…my unfolding story…where will I find You?

Rest my soul, rest…find peace in the warmth of the unknown.

Heart be stirred by grace;

Seek hope;

Find life;

Embrace meaning and thirst for true love.

I am found in You; waiting and longing for more.
