2. Whose Are You?
From Invictus by William Henley It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.

You were named.

4. You Are With Me Isaiah 43:2 You do not belong to Pharaoh.
You do not belong to the Philistines.
You do not belong to Nebuchadnezzar.
You do not belong to Caesar.

5. You Are My Treasure Isaiah 43:3-4

7. You Are My Glory Isaiah 43:7b Two Responses:
Isaiah 29:16 You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, "He did not make me"; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.
