i am more.

I stand in the presence of God. Fully unaware of where I am or what I am doing.  I live my life as if it is just a life and not a treasured gift from my holy creator.  I spend my time doing what I want to do instead of living and breathing the will of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I call myself a follower of Jesus Christ.  I call myself a Christian.  I call myself a good person.  Who am I really?

I am wrong.  I am a sinner.  I am a wretch.  I total liar and a thief.  I am not worthy to be called a daughter of my Father.

I have betrayed my Holy Father and I have done it without a thought. And then I have done it again. 

Who am I to stand? To live this life of ease?

I am all of this, but I am more.  Out of God’s great mercy, I am so much more. 

Because of Him, I am forgiven.  I am blessed. I am made new.  Because of Him I am.

I have been brought to my knees and I have laid down my heart.  I have given up my hopes and my dreams, my plans and my future.  Because I know that there is nothing outside of the will of God that I desire. 

I stand in His strength and the dignity He showers upon me.  I live my life with the breath of His voice.  I speak what comes from His love and “I AM” only by His amazing Grace.
