So when I make a big mistake
When I fall flat on my face, I know
Ill be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowin
I will be just fine cause nothin changes who I am
I am rosemarys granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My mommas still my biggest fan
Sometimes Im clueless and Im clumsy
But Ive got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
Its all a part of me
And thats who I am
These words are some of the lyrics from "Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews. They stick out to me because it is a reminder to find who I am in my Maker. In my youth group we are reading "Searching for God Knows What" by Donald Miller. The last chapter was titled "Naked" and it discussed Adam and Eve before they ate of the fruit. They were totally secure with themselves in God. It makes me wonder how often I search for something to make me feel secure or how often I feel unsecure because of someone else. Learning to seek God when I feel insecure is something I'm finding to be difficult. It's in that moment of weakness that it seems easiest to allow lies to creep in. Thankfully my God is bigger than the lies. In my heart, I know that one man died for me and paid the highest price just to be in a relationship with me. How cool is that?

I am wondering about Adam and Eve being totally secure in themselves in God....apparently there was an opening somewhere for Eve because she succumbed to Satan's lies and agreed with him plunging herself into sin.
I suppose I am often aware that Eve "walked with God in the cool of the day"..she could feel Him and she must have experienced Him in some physical way and still she was susceptible to whispers in her ear that told her she was missing out on something and that God was not giving her the fullness of what was available. So often I think "well if I could just see Him and feel Him I would have more faith and walk with more strength"
Agreements with those whispers have been part of the reality of living in a fallen world ever since.
It sounds to me like you are wanting to stop agreeing and fight to hang onto what is true. Good for you. Fight baby Fight!
