Some people say “I’m just being myself”, when what is true is they’re being the self they have developed to cope with what is missing, hurting, longing for love. The true self is the one who is created in the image and likeness of God. The one who isn’t vengeful, prideful, fearful, the one who doesn’t need to defend, pretend, force, manipulate, cling, grasp, avoid or envy. The true self is at home in their own skin… at home with God.
Paul lived a lie* before His encounter with God… We did too. So we ask you, “Are you just being yourself?’
*(Gal 1:11-24) from midday prayers
Give in: Surrender to your Center, God Himself, the one who knows the real you.
Give up: Trying to be who you are not.
Give out: Of your true self. Tell someone you trust your story.
“With God’s help I shall become myself.” Soren Kierkegaard
