You among every human being on earth has a name. I can't answer your name neither you,mine. My name is what they call me.
You have a lifestyle, a story, a profession, a family.
You have records of success, struggles, failures and mistakes.
When you look into the mirror, you see you.
So, who are you?
If you say it's your name, it is a means of identification. If you say it's your physique(biological composition), it is a means of physical description.
Your lifestyle(past, present and future), your family, your profession, your ability, your gifts, your struggles, your mistakes, your success, your failure only appeal to mundane senses. Hence, who you are can never be defined or determined by the physical senses.
Do not confuse the questions; What is your name? What do you do? What are your abilities? What does your life experience look like? Etc. with Who are you?
You are more than what the eyes of man can see. Your physical appearance does not matter in defining who you are, it is only a case that will decay.
Everything man can use to describe you or identify you physically can not define you, they will fade and last.
Your definition is in the heart of your creator. He is the only one that can tell you who you are. (Psalms 139:13-14). You need to seek Him to show you your real identity.
According to His words in the Holy Scripture, He calls you His image(Genesis 5:1-2), He calls you His masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10), He calls you God.
You are YOU. You can not be anybody and nobody can be like you. Your identity is uncomparable. No man can define you, not even you (in your mundane mind).
You have to accept your physique, maintain and improve your success and abilities, make amends for your mistakes and failures. They are happenings and not your being. You are YOU, you are who your creator has called you, irrespective.
Confession: I am not what I do, I am not what I go through, I am not what they think or say, I am uncomparable, I am not what they see, but who my creator calls me, I AM WHO HE SAYS I AM, I AM HIS IMAGE, I AM ME.
