How does God introduce me?

I've not been OK the last few days.
I know that I really don't know who I am.
I wonder, how does God introduce me?
Does He say to me, "Christopher, my little ______"
What goes in that blank?
Some dads call their son what they want them to become. "My little quarterback," they might say.
I asked God. He hasn't told me.

Bill Johnson said that "sometimes God doesn't let us know what we carry, we might focus on who we are, and not who He is."
I don't think that's my answer, but it helps.

Pastor Joe told me a wise thing once, about how some people's problems are easily seen, some people's aren't.
That's true, and I think also true of talents or gifts.

Sometimes I think my talents aren't easily seen. I sometimes get jealous of people with musical ability, etc.

Comparing myself to others never gets me to a good destination.

I find that I've lost focus yet again. Looking to people and not to God.
Bah! How and when did this happen?
