Just Who Are You?

No matter what others say, or even what you think about yourself---God tells us this about just who we are.
" You are My Child--I Am your Father who provides and cares for you --forever.
You are my Bride--the Church who I will never forsake and will return to to be with you one day.
You are my sheep--always found when you get lost! Hear My Voice and follow. Seek My Mercy and Forgiveness should you ever stray out of sight of this Shepherd.
You are My Temple--Be undefiled, cleansed so I can dwell in you.
You are My Garden--cared for, watered and weeded---nurture the seeds sewn that must grow to fullness in your life.
You are the branches---cling to this Vine so you may be fruitful, you will be kept pruned for I love you and do not wish to see you wither and die.
You are My Body--never to be seperated from Me--and gifted and used when you surrender to My Holy Spirit.
You are Blessed--when you hear the Word of God and obey.
You are My Chosen One--My Words will be put into your mouth, My love into your heart that others may see, hear and believe.
You are an Earthen Vessel---8 You are afflicted in every way, but not constrained; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying about in your body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in your body. (2 Corninthians 4)
You are carefully made, perfectly designed that the Will of the Father may be carried out through you when you say YES to my plan for your life. Child, you are Mine."
About the Author
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from our church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 50 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
