What I AM

So, let’s see, according to the State, I am Inmate #####, but I know I am who I am….
Currently, I am property of the DOC at Mid State, but I know I am where I am….
My face sheet states that I am a violent offender, but I know I am what I am….
I am all of these things and they certainly can be found on the internet, but I am what I am by the grace of God….
“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than them all, yet not I, but by the grace of God which was with me.” I Corinthians 15:10
I did not ask for this, and I did not plan for this, but I caused this…. Now I’m embracing this, because I am who I am and I’m reaching my cause, by the grace of God…
My past will try to destroy my future and that is what it is….People will continue to talk, people will continue to hate, but no worries, because by the grace of God I am who I am and His grace will much more abound.
“Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more…Romans 5:20
