Who Am I?

“I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still you hear me when I’m calling
Lord, you catch me when I’m falling
And you told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours.”

This is the chorus to one of my favorite songs by Casting Crowns. When I am down or sad about something, I can listen to this song, and it will immediately make me feel better. It lets me know that I am like a flower that is quickly fading and that I will not be here forever. I could be here today, but gone tomorrow. So, I should make the best of today and live my life to the fullest. I am like a wave tossed in the ocean and a vapor in the wind because this world will always try its best to drag me down. Yet, even though I can be dragged down at times, my Lord will always be there to help me up, and sometimes He catches me before I fall. I am His.

This song, among many others, influences me every day. Every time that I forget who I am or what my purpose in this life is, I turn to these inspirational songs. Music is an outlet for emotions, and it can have a positive or negative effect on one’s behavior and his or her life. I challenge everyone to listen to a radio station, possibly K-LOVE, that is uplifting. I don’t listen to only this station, but it is the one I listen to when I am having a bad day.

Try not to let this world bring you down. If you want to have happiness in your heart, fill your life with positive things. Do not conform to this world just because it is what so many people expect of you. Be more than that. Be yourself and who God wants you to be. J
