At service this weekend, Pastor Mike asked us, "Who are you?" This is the second toughest question out there. The first is why am I here, but we will save that for another day.
I'm sure we can all begin to answer this question by listing our roles in life. I am a wife, mother, daughter, granddaughter, friend, teacher, cook, cleaning lady, chauffer, therapist, etc. We can look at this list and all it reminds us of is how busy we are and how many demands are placed on us.
This week I want to issue you a challenge. When someone asks who you are, make your automatic response something along the lines of, I am the handiwork of God. "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10 TNIV). Slow down and realize that the only demand God places on you is faith.
