3 notes "Who am I? For if I am not the sum of my ‘many’ skills, my ‘fantastic’ experiences, the ‘loving’ people with whom I associate, or what stares back at me in the mirror, then what am I? I am convinced that the truth of me, is cloaked under cover of skin, peeled back alone by fatality. Still, this much I know about identity. I am a servant of the Master, adopted by The King. I am a simple soul, forged by The Creator, and destined for eternity. My yolk is easy and my burden is light, though my temptations are many, and I am strained by sorrow. I have been raised from the dead, cleansed by the blood, and though I do not deserve it, I live! I am His. I do not belong to this place, to you, or to them. This world is not my home. For the home I long, I stumble heavenward. Desperate for it, I press on for glory. It is true.. I am bruised and broken, I am thirsty and weak, but my Father owns a mansion on a hill far away, and I am not lost! There he waits for me, the great I Am, shrouded in mystery. I cannot look upon him, but this I can plainly see, in the valley, on the mountain, over heights, or under depths of sea.. I am His. The more I know him, the more I know me."

I was reading in Job and it’s crazy. He lost everything dear to him in literally less than a minute. He lost so much.
You know what his response was?
He fell to the ground in worship.
That was his response. He knew who God was and that God was in control, no matter what happened to him.
