Do you ever ask yourself "Who am I?" Do you ever sit back and ponder your answer? Are you being the you that you want to be, dreamed of being, or who God is/has called (calling) you to be? These are questions we should really ponder each day.
Each of us were called to do something great in life and to fulfill a specific purpose, but without knowing who we are that purpose will sit neglected on the inside of us; the baby (ministry/business/our own unique selves) will lay dormant. We can be in a room full of people and still not know who we are, hiding in the shadows of obscurity.
When we begin to ponder who we are many times God will reveal to us who we are not before He shows us who we are. I guess you can say that is a good thing. Reason being when you know who you are not you don't have to feel as if you have to fill the shoes you thought you did; or be the person everyone else expects you to be. You don't have to put on airs for the sake of others.
I've found that when a person begins to recognize and understand who they are there is a sort of metamorphosis that takes place. The way we see ourselves change, the way we view ourselves begins to line up with our God ordained destiny. Everything about us changes.
A person who learns who they are gets to a place in their lives where they can fully embrace and love on them. They no longer have to be defined by the views of others, the approval of others and how others tell them how they should look, what they should say, how they dress, so on and so forth no longer has a grip on them. They can shout to the world that I am becoming the me that I want to be, I am becoming the me He (God) created me to be.
