Self awareness of who I am can lead to confusion because of what I have been told not to believe about myself and my fellow creatures. Each person has at one point or another disowned the authentic side of our human/divine coin. We reinforced the human side and often forgot about the part of us that no ne can take away from us or devalue.
Self knowledge has put me back in touch with my pricelessly precious authentic self, the part of me that I almost lost in the shuffle when I believed that I was insignificant. In God’s kingdom we are all very significant. The thing is God is not in the arm-twisting business and he will not take back what he has given us dominion over- our choice to accept or refuse our true self. This knowledge can be baffling when we look at ourselves in comparison with each other. Doing so is very deadly! There is no place in God’s kingdom for fighting for first place. I know that even his disciples back in Jesus’ day were on a rolling argument as to who was next in line of authority and Jesus by passed all of them.
How humbling!
Conceit has no place in God’s vineyard. That’s enough to make me not lean on my own understanding or that of human influence above God’s Wisdom.
We are but a speck in God’s eyes; yet, worthy enough to be counted in the Flock.
Discover who you really are and live up to that; knowing that God is very pleased with you, otherwise when he designed you he would not have gone… very good! Then threw away the original mould from which he created you.
What we believe about ourselves is not determined nor defined by anyone other than God Himself, Herself, Itself.
This is self knowledge and is meant to keep us in awe of the majesty of our Creator. Accepting one’s authenticity is a perquisite to divine bliss as well as personal happiness .
No imitation please!
