Who am I?

It's a question I ask myself quite often.

Sometimes I have the confidence and comfort with knowing I am a child of God; His princess.

Sometimes, I'm not feeling so hot.

One thing that's for sure is that I am learning that regardless of who I think I am, God knows who I am.

That's not always easy though.

I was talking to one of my friends recently about some fears and insecurities I have with becoming a missionary, and more specific, with going on the world race.

With tears in my eyes, I explained to her that I was scared: scared of funds raising, scared I wasn't good enough, scared that God was playing a game or making a joke and I was the punch line.

In the middle of our conversation though, God simply whispered in my ear "my child, I know more about you than anyone on this Earth ever will. I have a plan for you, and I have placed something within you that you cannot see, but that's what I'm going to use through you to bring my Kingdom in this world wherever you go."

Immediately, I looked at my friend and told her what I felt God speak to me. It felt like an epiphany. The more I thought about it, the verse 2 Corinthians 4:18 came to mind: 

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal"

Wow.

Like literally, God spoke His word to me to comfort me, love me, and let me know He's not kidding. Not only that, but He gave me confidence in Him that reminded me that in my weakness, HE is strong.

Thank you Heavenly Abba, You are truly amazing!
