"Who Am I" by Julia Igwe: Finding our identity in God


(by Jasper Tan) Julia Igwe’s latest single, “Who Am I,” is a song that seeks to understand God’s amazing love for us, that even if we don’t deserve it, He still gives it freely. That by offering His life for us, we are saved from our sins. It is because of this that we are sometimes left to ask ourselves if indeed we are deserving of God’s gift of salvation. We are left in awe upon realizing that even if we don’t earn it all, God still chooses to simply love us with all His heart (and even at the cost of His life). God’s grace is a free gift from Him, and as our way of reciprocating His love, we give our lives fully to Him, embracing our identity in Him and resting in the truth that we belong to Him and our God loves us so. As Julia shares, “This song is a great reminder to me that the greatest thing I can do in life is be fully His and be fully surrendered to Jesus. Everything else comes second!”

Julia Igwe - Who Am IJulia also further shares that one of the biggest questions that she had after being saved, and learning about what Jesus did on the cross and what it means was, “Who am I to deserve such a great salvation?” and “Who am I that He would pay such a price for me?” But then we all should realize that as we walk with God in our faith, our salvation has nothing to do with us or the things that we did or need to do, but it is ultimately everything to do with God. Yes, we might not deserve His love, we might not deserve His grace, we might not deserve our salvation, but God is a loving God, and He continues to show us His ways, ways that we might not fully grasp. It is our faith that we build with Him, as we walk with Him, which will eventually bring about the fullness of our lives.

That to be in a relationship with Him is what will ultimately reveal the magnitude of His love for us. We are His, and He is waiting for us to join Him in this journey.

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...
