“Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said: ‘Who am I, O Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?’” (2 Samuel 7:18,  NIV). 

In our moments of honest reflection, we all realize that we are completely undeserving of the good things in our lives.  Our children, or mates, our jobs, and our churches are all gifts from God that we have done nothing to deserve. 

Do you ever sit back and just “count your blessings?”  Whenever I do so, the song always proves true; I always am “…amazed at what He’s done.”  Through every heartache and every temptation, He has continued to bless my life and see me through.  I make mistakes and stumble, but He picks me up and continues to guide me.  O’ how good God is!

This type of reflection can be very humbling.  Just like David, when we look around and are amazed at all God has done for us, we question, “Who am I, that God would love me so?”  The answer is simple yet profound.  Although we are frail and undeserving, God continues to bless us for the same reason we continue to help our own children: because we are HIS!  It has never been about WHO we are, but rather WHOSE we are.
