Remind Me Who I Am, Jesus

Tell me again, Jesus, who I am.

Because, I think I’ve forgotten.

This world is hard and bitter,

and sometimes, I too, am hard and bitter.

Remind me again Jesus, who I am.

Because, I think I’m believing things that are false.

I’ve been comparing myself to the standards this world has set,

and I am not measuring up.

Speak the truth of who I am to me, Jesus.

Because I have been treading water for so long.

I am so weary and the waves are so high;

I think I might be drowning.

If I really am who You say I am, Jesus,

Why is my heart so fickle?

Why am I so prone to wander?

Why do I run from Your love?

Tell me again, Jesus, who I am.

Because, I think I’ve forgotten.

“You are Mine.

You are Mine, Beloved, And I Am yours.

And you are Becoming.

You are Becoming all that I have intended for you to be.

"When your heart becomes hard,

When your heart becomes bitter,

I will breathe into you,

And soften you with my Love.

"And when you start believing the lies,

When you compare yourself to the artificial standards of this world,

I will remind you of the truth;

That I formed you according to my likeness.

"When the waves become too high,

And the waters grow too deep;

When you are too weary to keep your head above water,

I will come to you and rescue you.

"Yes. Your heart is fickle.

You are prone to wander;

To leave Me;

To run from My love.

"But I will never leave you.

I will never let go of you.

"You are Mine, you see.

"I bought you;

Paid for you with the very highest price.

Do you think I will ever let that sacrifice go to waste?

Do you think I could so easily let go of you?

You, whom I gave my life for?

"Never.

Never, my daughter.

You are far to precious to Me.

My very life-blood flows through your veins.

I will never let you go.

"You are Mine.

You are Mine, child,

And I am yours.
