Who am i?

I was listening to this song online...it is called "who am i?"
Here is the song lyrics...


Who am I,
that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I,
that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

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 callingLord,
You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours,
I am Yours


Who Am I,
that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love,
and watch me rise again
Who Am I,
that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

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 callingLord,
You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours,
I am Yours


Not because of who I am
But because of what
You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

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 callingLord,
You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours,
I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours


Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear'
Cause I am Yours
I am Yours


This song really touched me..because i was reminded of this video that was being shown to me in school..
It was a video about this girl called terri who died from euthanasia.
What is euthanasia? it is when a suffering patient who lives on long term medication or machine for survival and asks for death..the family members have the right to ask the doctor to kill them also...like in cases whereby they are brain dead, vegetable or just suffering from stroke and stuff..


This girl named terri..
She was young,
She was pretty,
Guess what happened?
At the age of 26, dunno what happened, she suddenly collapsed onto the ground and due to the lack of oxygen to the brain for like 5 min, she suffered from brain damage.
she had to stay in the hospital for her whole life from then on...
She couldn't do anything by herself, she couldn't even talk..only make sounds...
after a few years, due to the financial situation of her family and her father finding another mistress, they no longer have the money to support her..
At the end, her father requested and asked the doctor to not give her food and water even though she wanted to live..

How do i know whether she wanted to live?
Her aunt asked her before..she made soft sounds in agreement and made louder sounds to allow
everyone else in the room to hear..
Despite all the protest for her euthanasia, the doctor went on with her father's wishes..
She died after 10 days without food and water..
Her heart burst due to the lack of water..


As i was listening to this song and looking at the lyrics,
i really agree to the fact that we are or rather, i am like a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow...
we will never know what life holds for us...
we will never know what is going to happen tmr...
and when something goes wrong, what are we going to hold on to?
the things of the earth? studies, wealth,fame, money, job, life-time partner?
Or are we going to hold on to something eternal? that is eternal life..
The decision lies on us today.
Our life span on earth is really very short..but life after death is eternal (infinity).
We cannot bring of the things on earth that we are chasing for and after we die..
make a choice before it is too late, life is so fragile.
What we decide today affects our future..
Don live life, just to die at the end of the day...
Live to live.


In 1 corinthians chap 9 verses 24 to 26, "Don't you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing."
No matter how tired one may get for running this race,
No matter how we get distracted and get lazy and undisciplined,
always be reminded that we are running for the eternal prize..
and it is a prize that is not only given to 1, but to many who choose to run this race.


You know, i was very touched by the first verse of the song...
i am so so small, just 1 little human being in the billions, when i die, who will notice only? less then 1 percent of the population.
who am i?
that such a great and majestic God of all the earth will even care and bother more than anybody else bothers?
Who am i that deserve such great love and sacrifice?
i feel like an ant on the ground...so fragile and weak..that anytime i can be so easily killed and squished.
Since someone so big and great cares so much for us, especially the broken hearted and those who are finding hope, why don we just turn towards him?
He is just asking for what is on the inside...
He is just asking for our heart..
He wants to love us,
He wants to care for us,
He wants to listen,
He wants to be there for you,
He wants to provide hope
He just wants to clense us of our sins and provide a way out of the punishment of sin (eternal death in hell)
These are the many gifts that are free, just there and cannot be found in anyone besides Christ, why don we just take it by faith?
These are good things, things that we can build our trust and faith on...

Sometimes i am just amazed at how God manages to love everyone, every single person at the face of the earth, helping them, guiding them through all their problems...every single one of them..

Think about it, who are you?
Who am i?
Why will someone so great love someone so small?
