Who are you?

I feel like whenever we meet someone new, we sit in anticipation to see who they really are (or maybe I just do this haha). But I feel like whenever I am hanging out with people, talking to them, and growing with them, the question that is always on the back of my mind is, who are you? who are you really? in the deepest part of your darkest place who has the Lord created you to be?

I love that Jesus doesn't mess around when I ask Him this question, He doesn't even hesitate when He answers, "I am who I am". BOOM. Jesus isn't going to change. He isn't going to going to be the class clown one day, and the shy kid the next day. He is who He says He is.

Lately I have been really bitter at God for these certain situations that keep coming up in my life. I feel like I keep going through the same situation over and over again which really makes me angry at God if I am being fully honest. A friend encouraged me the other night that regardless of my situation, the character I know to be true of God has not changed a bit. God is still love, still my Abba, still good, still pursuing me, and still calling me child...

I know that is a bit off topic on such a small piece of the reading this week, but this has just been a huge source of encouragement for me this week, and I hope it encourages all of you as well.
