I am who I am.

I am who You created me to be.

Who You created me to be is all You require of me.

As You sculpted this body with your hands,

You knew every day, every step, every breathe I would take.

It is You who set in motion the direction of my life and pre-ordained my purpose.

So then as I live each day it is by the standard of Your perfect will that I compare the outcome.

I do not need to look to the left or to the right.

I do not need to tune my ear to the endless input from both well-wishers and those who would criticize.

I look to You, the author and perfector of my faith.

For it is in You that I live and move and have my being.

It is You who works in me to will and to do Your good pleasure.

And it is in You that I find all I need for life and godliness.

It is in You, it is through You, and it is for You that I live.
