My Response To the Question: Who Do You Think You Are
For your question that seeks my honesty
On "Who do you think you are?" with poetry's beauty
Here am I revealing my identity
Along my spiritual bio-data filled by God's bounty...
I’m God’s blessed workmanship settled in His plan;
He chose me before the world began
To belong to His royal clan
And bear His name in the best way I can.
I’m God’s adopted child according to His design;
He formed me in my mother’s womb – so well and fine
To carry my parents’ genes and bloodline
And to fulfill His will, never to resign.
I’m God’s redeemed property seen as His project
He saved me from sin’s eternal defect
To transform me as my way He does direct
And leads me to His grace I can’t reject.
I’m God’s privileged steward by His divine material
He quickened my soul to be heaven-bound and celestial
To own assured salvation with life eternal
And abide by His standards that are biblical.
I’m God’s on-the job trainee crafted thru His tools daily
He imputed to me His righteousness truly
To enable me to strive to be holy
And to follow His Spirit humbly.
I’m God’s called servant molded toward His perfection
He took me out me out from the miry clay of corruption
To fashion me to fulfill His assigned function
And shine as vessel of honor for His exaltation.
I’m God’s upheld missionary strengthened by His faithfulness
He bestowed on me abilities to use with skillfulness
To harness in the crucible of His fruitfulness
And be a blessing to others with joyfulness.
*1Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am...
