I Am

When I was young and quite shy I was at a church sponsored workshop and I saw a minister that I had met the summer before at a Church camp. He was busy greeting many of the other participants. However, he seemed to recognize me and I believe sensed my anxiety. He took a moment to shake my hand and as I responded to his kind smiling face with an outreached hand, the words “I am” seemed to radiate into my very soul. It was like electricity. Immediately my confidence was lifted. It wasn’t just the kind gesture of the minister that spoke to my spirit but, I sensed that God knew who I was and that I belonged there.

That day, the Holy Spirit gave me the awareness that the very reason God calls himself the “Great I AM” is because He wants us to listen to Him. He wants us to pay attention when He says to us these words “Because I AM, YOU ARE!” and then move out with confidence to do his will.”

Because He said, “I am the way,”

I am led by Him each day.

Because He said “I am who’s true”

I am assured of what to do.

Because He said, “I am the light.”

I am able to see what’s right.

Because” I Am” declared He Is!

Praise God! I know that I am His.
