What person in the Bible can you identify with? Why?

The person in the bible I can identify with is DAVID. Reason being, he reminds me of my youthful stages (I’m still a youth). He was so real but yet did not forget God in anything and always confess his sins. No matter how far He went from God, David made a way back. As the bible says, David is a man after God’s own heart. He worshipped God with his whole being. He didn’t let sin hold him down and he was a real warrior. With my life, no matter how I think i can run from God, I always find a way to go back to him. I love worshipping God cause I sing from the heart and it make things happen. Im a warrior myself, I fight for hwat i want and once its a honest fight I know God will fight for me. During this time and age being a youth is tempting but with God all things are possible. David is my favourite character I see myself through him DAILY like a mirror. His psalms ministers to my soul, it speaks to every present situation Im facing and even better I sing them.

Right now, I can best identify with the woman with the issue of blood.
Like she, I had a “blood issue” – it hospitalized me twice last year (’08) – it was later diagnosed as cancer.
I have reached out to God as she did Jesus for my healing and soon I am to have surgery that will remove the source of the bleeding.
But I know if it weren’t for God, this would not happen. It was he who opened the (financial) heart of the hospital so that I may receive treatment at no cost to me as I have no insurance.
My healing is within reach – and I bless God.

I also thought of David in the first moment of considering who I would choose. If anyone of the Bible characters, it would be David.
However, in considering it well, I am afraid I would fall short of being like David. I am studying now the life of David in my devotions and I find him to be a man of honor, anger, passion, a heart that longed for God.
He sinned a lot in his life. Yet, he always found his way back to his relationship with God. He was always forgiven and used by the Lord in another way.
I gain hope in reading about David. I have never murdered anyone and do not plan to do so, but I have failed the Lord in many ways. I want to be like David in that he repented quickly and sought to please the Lord no matter what the results were in his own life.
I love the way the Bible shows the good side of our “heroes” and the bad also. God looks on our hearts and he knows the intent of what we do. Sometimes we do not fully know our own intents.
David continues to be one of God’s heroes. Reading his words is a great encouragement to me.

Right now I can best identify with Thomas- doubting Thomas!!! I know God has our best interest at heart but waiting for some prophecies to come to pass in my life and that of my family`s quite nerve racking especially when deadlines are looming!!!! Maybe sharing this will help me to refocus on what matters until like for Thomas, Jesus appears and shows me His nail-torn hands!

Right now. I think that I relate with Mary Magdalene. She sat at Jesus’s feet, while her sister worried about all the other things that needed to be done, her main focus was on what the Lord had to say. So many times I’ve worried in my life, but when I came to know Him, I was only worried and fixed my heart on one thing, and that thing shall never be taken away from me. In December I lost my job. I was so unsure of things! I prayed and was faithful to God, but He was taking my job away. I later came across Psalm 27:14, and my life really changed after that :). Everything I had been through no longer mattered, nor the things that were to come. I had to be patient and wait on God, and I never forgot that. Times got pretty tough though. My dad is disabled, and my mom, my brother, and uncle are the only ones that are working right now. Still, I’m the only one not bringing in any money. So I felt so outta place. Everytime I turned around something was going wrong. I felt like everything was my fault. My dad was always pressuring me to find a job, and sometimes it was unbarable, and we’d lash out at one another. One day after our biggest fight, I cried out to God, I told Him that I loved Him with all of my heart and soul. I could feel so much love that day. After that things looked so different. I remember the first time I ever heard the story of Mary Magdalene, I was so inspired. I could relate my life with that story so well. My dad was worried so much about the bills and everything else, (that’s just how he is), but I kept my heart and mind focused on God. My dad even said one morning after reading his bible, it was so awesome, “They can take away my home, my car, my life, but they can’t take my Jesus!” Jesus was Mary’s everything. Though everything in this world may be taken away from us, we will NEVER lose our Jesus. I’m so amazed, everytime I hear this. I’m beyond perfection, but in His eyes, I’m everything. I love Him so much.
I pray He richly blesses each and every one of you!!

Right now I feel like I can relate to Moses. His doubt, frustration with people, trying to lead and having people question him left and right. I am trying to do what I feel like God has called me to do but people are wearing me down. I sometimes finding myself doubting God but He always comes through and is changing my doubt into faith. God has “put me in the cleft of the rock and has allowed me to see His Glory.” And to see His Glory- that truly gives you strength for the journey.

Some days I feel like David, full of life and adventure, a man after Gods own heart.
Other days I feel like Judas. He was sooo close, but just didn’t get it.
Right now I think I can relate to Abraham – following God just because He is God, even though I have no idea where He is leading me.
