WHO AM I . . . REALLY?

http://www.gcyouthministries.org

God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature so they can
be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, and, yes, Earth itself, and every
animal that moves on the face of Earth.” Genesis 1:26
 
“Who are you?”

It’s one of the most common questions in life.
“I’m Anna Perez.”
Is that an answer? Well, yes and no. Often people who ask this question only want
to know what our name is. But as we move through the years that end childhood and
begin adulthood, the question grows more urgent.
Who am I? I am a son . . . a daughter . . . a friend . . . a student . . . an artist . . . a
maker . . . a scientist . . . a technologist . . . a Christian . . . a Seventh-day Adventist.
This year, we are going on a journey through time and space. In the first quarter, we
will peek in on patriarchs and wise women, on kings and priests and servant girls, as we
seek to understand Our Source by looking more deeply into the biblical stories of the
early people on this earth, those who first learned who God is and how to relate to Him.
During the second quarter we will visit people from the centuries as they pass,
and learn about the heritage and roots of our faith and of the Seventh-day Adventist
denomination.
Then we will seek the source and the heart of our most cherished values by
studying the 28 Fundamental Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination
throughout the third and fourth quarters.
Along the way, we will attempt to discover some answers to that perennial question,
who am I really? Or at least we’ll learn some questions to ask ourselves and God as we
seek to uncover those answers. Sometimes the best answers come through the questions
themselves.
As we journey through the centuries, we will journey to the heart of God . . . and to
our own truest, deepest selves.
Who am I? I am a beloved child of God. I didn’t just happen. God made me because
He wanted me.
Creator of the cosmos, show me how to know You, not just to know about You,
but to really know You at the heart level. Show me how to know that You know me—the
real me, the me that is so hidden that often I don’t see it myself. As we walk together
through the hills and valleys of this year, show me more and more how to truly be the
me You are creating me to be.

  1. It is a unique slogan that who am I and every body, in my opinion. must think that what type of life he/she needs to live and what he/she expects from life. We do great work on daily basis and in the end we get pains in every inch of body. Then we think, what we do now and in that I recommend them to go to remedial massage therapist to settle down their pains.
