I Identify

I identify as the best Said the second angel in command, it is not fair that I don't have supreme control on demand! I identify as a snake, hissed the Father of lies, I can bring the humans what is missing I will talk with my voice not hissing! I identify as the youngest child said the Shepard boy, this here is my sling shot it is only a toy! What is this I hear? I just don't understand! God disagrees with my identity, and sees a kingly man! I identify as just a girl and married I am not, but I am pregnant with a child God identified me as a chosen lot. I identify as Jesus and I come to the world in human form. I identify as Jesus and I will tell you “I Am.” I identify as broken and tattered, said the mom whose world was shattered, but deep in my heart I know my Father in has has identified me as whole!

that was pretty cool. I could guess all of them. Those good old church days of my youth taught me so much

Glad you like it. I have always had trouble with how to identify, personally. Its always so tempting to identify a person by their profession. He is a trucker, she is a mom, etc! I simply had to bring it spiritual.
