“Who Am I?” Is a question we ask ourselves from time to time. Some are blessed to know exactly who they are and where they are going, some are still searching their hearts and praying for God to show them their true path in life; asking the question: “What does God want me to do? What is my calling?”
We are God’s children, adopted through the sacrament of baptism, redeemed by Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb of God; we are heirs to the Kingdom. God has given us a great instruction book for living: The Bible. In its pages, you’ll find answers and insight into what God has done for us and how we are to live our lives. In this Sunday’s sermon text, Romans 12:9-21, Paul gives us more than twenty directives, or bits of advice for living a godly life. God wants us to be faithful in our relationship with God and with others, and love is the guiding principal for all that we do. What is God calling you to do? God is calling you to be who you are to the best of your ability. Thank goodness for grace, because without it, we wouldn’t stand a chance.
God of mercy, look with favor upon me, and through your Holy Spirit, help me to become the best me that I can be. Amen.
