Who am I?

"One of the enemy's sneakiest tactics... today is to get us distracted with self-analysis. 

The question 'Who am I?' is one of the top concerns on our minds. We take elaborate personality tests, go to career counselors, cultivate special hobbies, build up our personal Pinterest boards, and imbibe self-help books in an effort to discover and express who we are.

But we have become preoccupied with the wrong question.

As [children] of the King, we are no longer to concern ourselves with who we are. Instead, our focus should be centered around a completely different question: 

who is He?

When we know who Jesus is and we understand what it means to be found in Him, the question "Who am I?" is automatically solved. 

He is the vine, we are the branches - and without Him, or lives will amount to nothing (see John 15:5)." - Leslie Ludy

A whole neighborhood of bird's nests have gathered in our grape arbor.

New leaves show which branches remained connected to the vine and root through winter.
