Who are You? Who am I?

Who am I?  I am but a college student, a nobody from a nowhere town.  I've done nothing in particular, haven't traveled far from home.  i was never one of the popular kids and I don't intend to start now.  I'm just me, a nobody from a nowhere town.

Who are you?  You are God almighty, who fills all of eternity.  You created the whole of the universe, every star and every planet in perfect harmony, singing together the glory of your name.  you created all of life, and the balance and wonder that is within each system--from the beauty and depths of the sea, to the jungles and forests on land.  You made it all, and the whole of creation points to Your magnificence.  You cause the gentlest of days, the warmth of the summer sun glistening off the lake and the slight breeze that dances with the flowers.  But you also call into being the mighty storms that destroy, so that life may begin anew.  You also made people.  so complex and so confusing we are, but You knew each of us from before time began.  You built us, every atom put in place with Your loving touch, every cell working in accordance with Your instructions   but you are also perfect, God, and so must judge our imperfections that we placed upon ourselves.  We live only by Your mercy, and only You are the great physician.  You are Father, You are Holy, You are Alpha and Omega.  You are God.

Who am I?  How can I dare to think that I can come before You, and kneel at Your throne, in Your presence?  How can this nobody from a nowhere town have the audacity to think that God has time, will make time, for me?  Why am I so important to God?  I'm just a nobody from a nowhere town.

Who am I?  I am but Your creation, made to be used for Your purpose.  I am made Your child through Your sacrifice for me.  I am made alive.  I am raised from the dust of the ground, to inherit eternal life with You in Heaven.  Who am I to receive such blessings?  I am Yours.
