not so long ago it was pointed out to me that to find oneself one needed to find God. in this culture that emphasizes looking inside yourself incessantly, this seems rather odd. it seems like i need to get away, find a therapist, withdraw into myself and look for .... something.
yet this is not the way. in order to really know who i am and become all i can be, reaching my full potential in life, i actually need only to look to God and know Him and the more I do that, the more I will be my true self.
i think this is comforting. the God of the universe who made me knows me totally and completely and He has the power to use me and help me and do amazing things with my life.
when i leave God out of the picture, I find myself looking inside and finding little, scrambling for what other people say is good about myself, and really not feeling very good at all.
God Himself is the one who gives us worth, value, and an excitement to live purposefully and completely. By the Holy Spirit He guides us in what that will look like.
I love God. He is awesome.
