Hope that makes sense. I had a visceral response reading this post today; like I was looking in a mirror, too, asking the same thing. It was unsettling, and several times I directed that same question to God: "Who am I?" not really certain why, just feeling that I should. As the day progressed I became increasingly conscious not of who I am, but of whose I am, and now the "unsettling" is, well, settled. God is good, Father Gordon. Aren't we incredibly blessed not only to know Him and but also to be known by Him? We are.
