Day 30: I am Not

I AM NOT _____________!

How would you fill in the blank?

Oh how easy it is to tell yourself

"WHO I AM not",

as the list would go on and on.

But then I look up

And JESUS says

I AM!

Therefore ,

YOU ARE NOT who you believe yourself to be because

I AM HE~

THE ONE WHO WAS from the very beginning (John 4:26; 1:1).

I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE~

THE ONE WHO fully satisfies all our hungers and thirsts (John 6:35; Philippians 4:19).

I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD~

THE ONE WHO illuminates the darkest of dark with HIS Truth (John 9:5).

I AM THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP~

THE ONE WHO welcomes whomever walks through,

to save, to give abundant life (John 10:7; 10).

I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD~

THE ONE WHO knows our name and WHO gave up HIS life for (John 10:11; 4-15).

I AM THE SON OF GOD~

THE ONE WHO makes us HIS Child (John 10:36; 1:12-13).

I AM THE RESURRECTION & THE LIFE~

THE ONE WHO raises us from our fallen state by giving us

HIS life (John 11:25; 1 John 5:11-12).

I AM THE WAY & THE TRUTH & THE LIFE~

THE ONE WHO we follow because HE knows the way we should take,

that is paved with Truth that breathes life into our breathless body (John 14:6).

I AM THE TRUE VINE~

THE ONE WHO we abide in so that we bear HIS fruit (John 15:1; 15:4).

I AM THE APLPHA & THE OMEGA~

THE ONE WHO

WAS

WHO IS

&

WHO IS TO COME (Revelations 1:8)

"When I saw HIM, I fell at HIS feet like a dead man.

And HE placed HIS right hand on me, saying,

'Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last' (Revelations 1:17)"

Therefore~

How can we ever say that

"I AM not"?

Because if

JESUS is what "I AM not"

then I am all that HE has come to bring.

So I ask you again~

How would you now fill in

I AM NOT _____________!

Cross out "Not" because

JESUS

is all that you are not.

So today

let’s FAST from the weight of

"I AM not"

by

Holding on to the hand of

I AM

Who changes every one of your

I AM NOTS

to

I AM _____________

Because

"JESUS IS"
