Who I Am is Who I Want to Be

Have you got a minute?

I have to confess to something…I’ve been binge watching the sitcom, “Reba”!  I just know I could be friends with her.  I love her accent; I love her style and I love her fierceness. But what I really like is this line from her introduction song, “Who I am is who I want to be…”

In this new season of learning to live alone, those words have really resonated with me.  I’m okay with who I am right now, and not because of a sitcom! But because God’s word reassures me of this, “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” (1 John 3:1)

I am so thankful that God not only calls me His child, but His love for me means that He will do whatever is necessary to guarantee that who I am is who HE wants me to be. It is His predetermined purpose to restore His image in me. (Romans 8:29)

Folks, it doesn’t get any better than that for those who are in Christ.  We are called “children of God”!  Why wouldn’t I like a song that reminds me of that truth.  Yes, who I am is who I want to be…God’s very own child!

Thank you for giving me a minute!
