Because of that the more we get to know ourselves.
If we come humble and mirror our lives in light of
God’s Word, we can discover a lot about ourselves that may be hidden even from
our own understanding.
Knowing
One’s Self
Everyone is uniquely created by God. That includes
you and me.
God is not going to ask me why am I not like so and
so. He’s actually asking me why I am not more like myself.
That’s the reason why it’s painful to try becoming
somebody else. It’s awkward and stressful.
Settling the issue of knowing one’s self involves
two sets of ideas. First:
- I should build on my strengths and maximize them.
- I should know my weaknesses and minimize them.
And, one should
AVOID:
- Comparing. There will always be someone greater and lesser. We will either become proud or discouraged when we compare.
- Copying. We’re all uniquely created. All different. God takes great delight in watching me be me.
Life of Purpose
The Lord Jesus knew
exactly who He was and what was His purpose here on earth. He constantly
communed and communicated with the Father so that He can be focused on his
mission.
In following Jesus
Christ, we should do the same. Have constant communion and communication with our
Father in heaven – so we can remain focused on who we are and what on earth are
we here for.
