One thing I have been learning lately is my identity in Christ. I was listening to grooveshark (woot woot) and this song came on and i had to stop and think. The song is entitled "True Story" by Ginny Owens:
"I am a gifted artist
I've learned to paint this canvas well
I work until I've finished
An ideal image of myself
But you know better
I am a storyteller
Quite brilliant, if I do say so
I tell them tales they want to hear
And they believe it's me they know
But you know better
Chorus:
You see my imperfections
Still You say I'm a masterpiece
A marvelous reflection
The image of Yourself in me
You paint with strokes of grace
Undoing my disguise
You say beauty lies in the true story
The world might think me foolish
If they could see beneath my mask
They might find my dreams laughable
Or be embarrassed by my past
But you know better
(Chorus)
Of where I've been
And where you've brought me to
Of who I am
All because of you (4X)
(Chorus 2X)"
It's so weird to think about how God views me. I mean, in reality I kinda fail at living life the way God wants me to. There have been times when I got distracted and I tried to be someone I'm not. For several years, I hid behind a mask.There are several times in my life when I mess up.
God knows me better then I know myself. He knows everything about me, yet he loves me anyway. Isn't that incredible? He knows every ugly thing about me, yet he loves me.
I am completely overwhelmed at how much God loves me despite my imperfections.
