I am who I am

I am not beautiful in the eyes of people who have different definition of “Beauty”

But in the way God defines it, I am.

I am no saint: I tease people; I laugh at others’ mistakes

But with the conviction God put in my heart, I readily admit my wrongs.

I am not perfect and will never try to reach perfection

But I put my trust on the only Being who is perfect.

I am not smart at all times, I’m no genius, I sometimes think meaninglessly

But I am wise to know that everything is meaningless, everything! My wisdom comes from God.

Sometimes, I am not strong during mighty ordeals

But I have a God who battles for me. Without Him, I am nothing.

I am not a magician that could do tricks to lift a person in the air

But I have a faith that can lift mountains into the sea. I am a believer.

I am not rich who can buy everything in this world

But I have a Father whose wealth is beyond measure. I am an heiress.

I am not a poor that begs for food to live

I have a Father who supplies my needs. I live through faith. I am content.

I am not proud. I do not boast about the things in this world.

But I take pride of my beliefs, my dreams, and my blessings to honor One Name.

I am seldom showy, expressive to people around me

But I care for them, I pray for them. I am thankful.

I am not upright, I sin, and I fall short sometimes.

But I am righteous, only because of HIM. My righteousness is Christ. I am a follower.

I am not the way others want me to be; the way others think of me

I am who I am – the way God created me.

Who’s hands?

I’ve read a poem from my friend’s blog. and he gave me the permission to repost it. Thanks Myko! I loved its message and hope it’ll convey the same thing to you. Btw, he’s source was from: “Rely On the Holy Spirit, Our Comforter” by Ptr. Vince Burke, April 06,2008.

So here’s the poem!

Whose Hands?

“A basketball in my hands is worth about $19.
A basketball in Michael Jordan’s hands is worth about $33 million.
It depends whose hands it’s in.
A rod in my hands may keep away a wild animal.
A rod in Moses’ hands will part the mighty sea.
t depends whose hands it’s in.
A sling shot in my hands is a kid’s toy.
A sling shot in David’s hand is a mighty weapon.
It depends whose hands it’s in.
Two fish and five loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.
Two fish and five loaves of bread in God’s hands will feed thousands.
It depends whose hands it’s in.
Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse.
Nails in Jesus Christ’s hands will produce salvation for the entire world.
It depends whose hands it’s in.
As you see now it depends on whose hands it’s in.
So put your concerns, your worries, your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your families and your relationships in God’s hands because, it all depends whose hands it’s in.”
