Who Am I?

My name is Elisabeth Taylor. I'm 5'5", have brown hair and hazel eyes. I'm fair skinned and about the closest thing to a tan I can get is freckles. I would rather wear jeans and a Tshirt everyday of my life than dress up, but I care to much about people's opinion of me, which usually prevents me from doing so. I am a perfectionist in every sense of the word. My room is spotless and my homework is always done early and turned in on time, my life is organized and my check lists are my life. I love the outdoors and thrive on adventure in God's great universe.  Music is my passion, and singing always makes everything better. I'm almost a pilot and one of my dreams is to become a professional mountain climber. I love travelling, but home is always a good place. I am a GRITS girl (girl raised in the south) and proud of it. I love monkeys and my Chacos. Oh, and chocolate always makes my day better!
I read the paragraph above and i should know exactly who i am. According to the world, that is who i am. But who am i really? According to God I am something different, i am His child. A young woman who was raised in an SDA home for a reason, someone who was trained to spread His word to the world. Asked by Him to live my life in way that would glorify Him and draw people closer to Him. I am someone who has messed up more times than i could ever dream of counting, but was still given another chance because He loves me. I am someone who's life God has a specific purpose for. Someone that God wants to do great things through, if i would only surrender my life to Him and let Him guide me.
But you know what the best part is? We are all that person to God. We are all loved by Him more than we could ever dream or imagine. And we are all asked to look in the mirror and ask ourselves, "Who am i to God?"
