Who are You?



Who are you? Where did you come from? Tell me about your family?
Of course, most of us can answer these questions. I can go as far back as Scotland and tell you about my family history. Events and people that tell us all about our heritage. Some of the facts we learn, may not set well with us, and that part we don't share. lol. But all in all, we need to know who we are and what it means to be in this family. Genealogy is interesting and I have been doing quite a bit in the last few years, but I also have come to a place where it is not as important as before. As a Christian and follower of Christ, I believe it is more important to find out who we are in Him. As our Heavenly Father, what blessings or privileges do we have and are we claiming what is ours. I would venture to say,  most do not know who we are in Him, and if we don't know then we can hardly benefit.
Living way beneath what is ours, is probably the norm for many. As we begin to delve into this very important issue, let's take a minute to pause and ask for wisdom, and that God would reveal to us how very critical it is to know who we really are. Amen!
Listed below are just a few . Words are powerful and a proclamation of our faith. Read out loud and believe that you really can claim this scriptures. This the Word of God!
There are many more promises in the Bible,  that will tell you who you are. So if you are into the genealogy that really matters, you will certainly be blessed!
 
Meditate and believe!

So true, it is most important to know who we are in Him. We have a plaque on our wall that says, "Who we are is God's gift to us, who we become is God's gift to Him." If we don't know who we are in Him, then we haven't studied His word enough.

Shirley,
This is good! I'm starting to feature names of what God calls me on Joy4Today. If I get stuck, I may have to come look on your site for an idea!
Hope you have a good Christmas.
