Of Insecurity and Identity

Me:
"I've given talks,
but that doesn't make me a public speaker.
I've written poems,
but that doesn't make me a poet.
I've acted on stage,
but that doesn't make me an actor.
I've made films,
but that doesn't make me a filmmaker.
I've taught in school,
but that doesn't make me a teacher.
I've preached in church,
but that doesn't make me a pastor.
I own a bible,
but that doesn't make me a believer.
I run social initiatives,
but that doesn't make me a philanthropist.
What I've done,
does not make me who I am."
God:
"You prefer one on one talks,
But that doesn't mean you're not a Public speaker.
You haven't been published,
But that doesn't mean you're not a Writer.
You're not popular,
But that doesn't mean you're not an Actor.
You haven't won awards,
But that doesn't mean you're not a Filmmaker.
You don't have a degree,
But that doesn't mean you're not a Teacher.
You can't attend church,
But that doesn't mean you can't be a Pastor.
You haven't been healed,
But that doesn't mean you're not a believer.
You're not rich,
But that doesn't mean you can't be a Philanthropist.
Who you are,
is not what you have or have not."
And then, a pause. The silence is soaked in a tear drop.
"Who I am, is what He's done.
Who I am, is what You have given me."
