Who Am I? ...(1)

..Screams fly across the room...She moans, she groans, she yells, she begins to swim in a pool of momentary regrets..these thoughts suddenly dissipate as she hears the shrill cry of another...Tears roll down her cheeks as she beholds the miracle she brought forth...

..The child is named..

First an infant, then a toddler - by this stage, every child begins to develop a personality of their own..

Thereafter, we go through life following the norms, depending upon what your immediate surroundings dictate to you.Until at some point,you begin to ask, 'Who Am I?, Why am I here?,....These questions are often not verbalized. More often than not, we embark on a journey of self-discovery by taking up hobbies, interests,investing more time and money into education,etc..

Although these activities fill our time and keep us from living lives plagued by boredom, there still remains a void within us that cannot be filled by drugs,sex,titles,money or sports, among others..

So, the question still remains - What defines me? Who Am I?

They say we are creatures made by God to fellowship with Him...

So, how do we reconcile the deep longing in our hearts with the fact that, we were created by an unseen God for His pleasure?

What we see through scripture (Jeremiah 1 : 5, Psalm 139 : 13-18) is the work of the greatest artist as demonstrated in Genesis, when God decides to make man in his own image. He didn't stop at giving man his form, he went ahead and breathed LIFE into Him.

God through Jesus, defines himself as LIFE*.Meaning that, when you were born, God breathed himself into you!! What you meant to communicate to the world at birth when you let out that cry, was, "God's in me." God gives us free will to choose which way we want to live but because you carry His form and His breath, nothing will fill you up like He does!

Ok, so Adam and Eve's bodies were the templates God used in forming our outer bodies, so much so that when He came to earth, he came just like us! - In human form!

What's fascinating is the variations he makes in the innermost parts of everyone. So that, you are so unique that, nobody can do what you do, the way you do and vice-versa. When God breathed into us, He breathed the ability to do ALL things.**

Functioning in the gifts and abilities God has bestowed on us plays a big role in defining us. It is the very essence of why we were made - To give Glory to God. Everytime you use your gift positively, you praise Him - its like indirectly saying,like MaryMary, "Its The God in Me!!"

Like humans need trees for oxygen, we need each other's gifts. When God gives you a gift, He also creates a need for it, to make YOU relevant! Have you found yours?

So,in effect, we are the breath of God! Can you run with what God has placed within you? Can you run with what He has said about you?*** You are a priest and a king/queen!! Place your stamp on the world!!

Finally, If you are God's breath, what do you take in? and what comes out of you? (FFT)

...You're of royal descent, Don't contaminate your blood!!! *wink*
