Who Am I? – Anne Adams
“If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” (John 15:19 NKJV)
After the campaign rally speech, a hungry Mayor George headed for the food stand for a late lunch, but soon had a challenge. The glum server gave him a plate of fried chicken, potato salad and beans, but the portions were quite small.
"Can I get more?" he asked.
"Nope, we're running low, and we have lots of people to feed. Now move along!”
The mayor decided the server didn't recognize him, so he decided to correct her. "Do you know who I am? I'm the mayor of this city. I'm in charge of the government."
"And do you know who I am?" The woman replied. "I'm the one in charge of the chicken. Now move on!"
That lady certainly had self-confidence, and that’s a trait I usually lack – particularly spiritual self-confidence. Yet one way to get it is to recognize who I am as a believer.
In our passage, as Jesus assures us that he’s chosen us to live in his presence, then logically that should give us assurance. Yes, ideally it should, since because of our relationship with the Lord we are entitled to rely on him to provide our needs. So, do we? Or are we bowed with fear or self-pity? Do we trust in his loving provision or are we wallowing in uncertainty?
So, who are we? — God's child or a cowed orphan?
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: John 1:12 NKJV
