A Gentle Reflection
Have you ever stopped to ask ...
Who am I, really?
Not - what do I do.
Not - what have I accomplished.
Not - who have people told me I am.
Not - what have I accomplished.
Not - who have people told me I am.
Who am I - really?
Scripture has been coming alive in my heart in a fresh way. And I keep seeing this so I had to share it with you!
Key Scripture
“Your true life is hidden away in God in Christ. And as Christ himself is seen for who he really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now one with him in his glory.”
Colossians 3:3–4 in The Passion Translation
Oh. My. Goodness.
Read that again!
Maybe... we discover who we really are by discovering who He really is!
Perhaps part of the great plan is for us to look to Jesus to truly discover who we are!
Your true life is hidden away in God in Christ.
Aaaand…
“As Christ himself is seen for who he really is, who you really are will also be revealed.”
Do you see it?
Your true life is…
Hidden in Him.
And as you come to know Him, experience Him, discover His heart and see Him for who He really is—you begin to discover who you really are.
Aaahmazing!
Maybe that's why we can spend so much time trying to “find ourselves” and still feel like something is missing.
We're looking at ourselves.
Trying to figure ourselves out.
Sometimes this looks like...
Analyzing our past…our childhood.
Taking personality tests … hello!
Wondering about our purpose.
Trying to identify our gifts.
Asking, What am I supposed to do with my life?
Wondering about our purpose.
Trying to identify our gifts.
Asking, What am I supposed to do with my life?
And perhaps the better question is:
“Jesus, who are YOU?”
Because as we discover Him, we begin to see ourselves differently.
The One who created us begins to reveal what He placed within us.
Our true life—our identity, our purpose, our calling, the person we were created to be—is hidden in Him.
Not hidden because He doesn't want us to find it.
Hidden in Him so that as we seek Him, we discover it.
I love that!
"And our own completeness is now found in him." Colossians 2:10 TPT
He wants you to discover Him, to experience Him, to walk with Him.
You don't need to have yourself all figured out.
A Simple Starting Place
Read His Word.
Talk to Him.
Ask questions.
Listen.
Get to know His heart.
Talk to Him.
Ask questions.
Listen.
Get to know His heart.
Don't settle for simply knowing about Jesus.
Know Him.
Experience Him.
And as He is revealed…
who you are is also revealed.
There is more of Him to discover.
And there is more of who He has made you to be to discover too.
oh what a beautiful journey!
