This is a question that I started dealing with several years ago.
I was struck dumb by the idea that HE even knew MY name!
I would open my back door and a cool breeze would hit my face and I would whisper the words....."who am I?"......He has begun to show mw "who I am and who I belong to! I'm still struck by the sheer "Big-ness" of HIM and all that He can do.
I love you all .
I hope you will ask Him "who" you are...you will love HIS answer.

INDIVIDUAL DISCOURAGEMENT AND PERSONAL ENLARGEMENT
Moses went out unto his brethren, and looked on their
burdens.
Exodus 2:11
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=ex+2:11&sr=1
Moses saw the oppression of his people and felt certain that he was
the one to deliver them, and in the righteous indignation of his own
spirit he started to right their wrongs. After the first strike for
God and for the right, God allowed Moses to be driven into blank
discouragement, He sent him into the desert to feed sheep for forty
years. At the end of that time, God appeared and told Moses to go and
bring forth His people, and Moses said - "Who am I, that I should
go?" In the beginning Moses realized that he was the man to deliver
the people, but he had to be trained and disciplined by God first. He
was right in the individual aspect, but he was not the man for the
work until he had learned communion with God.
We may have the vision of God and a very clear understanding of what
God wants, and we start to do the thing, then comes something
equivalent to the forty years in the wilderness, as if God had
ignored the whole thing, and when we are thoroughly discouraged God
comes back and revives the call, and we get the quaver in and say -
"Oh, who am I?
We have to learn the first great stride of God -
"I AM THAT I AM" hath sent thee."
We have to learn that our individual
effort for God is an impertinence; our individuality is to be
rendered incandescent by a personal relationship to God
(see Matthew
3:17)
We fix on the individual aspect of things; we have the vision
- "This is what God wants me to do;" but we have not got into God's
stride. If you are going through a time of discouragement, there is a big personal enlargment ahead.
