Identity Clarification

I am not spectacular.
I am not the star of the show.
I am not sure of the right thing to say nor how to say it.
I am not the savior of Honduras.
I am not the solution to the world's poverty.
I am not the most popular, nor am I the most hated outcast.
I am not the life of the party.
I am not the light in the darkness.
I am not the one who will satisfy your needs, heal your pain, or take away your aching hunger.
I am not who you're looking for.
I am not.

There is one I am, and I am not him.  I am his witness, and I am here to tell you who is the I am: Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the great I AM.  The one who is and is to come.  The one who was before all things, and through whom all was made.  Jesus is the star of the show, the Savior, the solution, the living water, the light in the darkness, the light of men.

Jesus gets the glory, and he has shown me who I really am: I am his--I belong to the true I am. Because of him, I am a child of God.  Forever loving, serving, and praising (with great joy) our great I AM.

Oh, won't you join me?!?

A Cup of Water

For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward. Mark 9:41 ...
