And that makes all the difference!

 




I know who I am

The hushed whispers of gossip and slander
The loud roaring of abuse and violence
Neither can drown the sound of the song that springs from deep within me

I know who I am

The dust over those hard-won certificates
The unseen glories of my current labours

Neither can dull the light that is shining from deep within me

I know who I am

The tears over battles I have lost
The sweat from the battles I have won

Neither can dampen the touch of Him who lives in me

I know who I am

The bliss of the forbidden food I took from Satan's hand
The bitterness of my tongue from all the medicines that had to follow

Neither can disqualify me from tasting God's gift of His body and blood to me every morning.

I know who I am

The foul odour of death creeping up behind me
The sweet fragrance of the flowers yet to bloom that will adorn my grave

Neither can draw me away from the scent of His embrace today

I know who I am

I am the precious daughter of my Father, the Author of Life 
I am the co-heir of my elder brother, Jesus Christ who has conquered this world
I am a sojourner with the Holy Spirit through all that is yet to come.

I know who I am
And THAT makes all the difference.
