Many a time, we will quite often find ourselves in a situation where we are constantly becoming what society expects us to be. This could be parents, friends, teachers, you name it.
While it is important that we have people who believe in us and push us to levels and standards we ought to be at, some times you have to pause, breathe, and resume on the right track.
The author of life, and life’s purpose is God, and it can only be wise for us that as we constantly evolve, we take a break to inquire from him what we ought to be becoming. The major key to a better future is who you are becoming, and therefore, the choice of what to become is not one you can just make because your friends or anyone else said so. We need to go back constantly to our source of life and purpose, so that our steps are guided by him. That’s the only way to be sure of walking towards/in the right direction.
It’s often important to take sometime to think considerably about your life, and make sure that every choice and decision you are making is building your character into who you ought to be, and not necessarily who you are expected to be, because sometimes, society can be brutal.
Our ultimate satisfaction is in the discovery, pursuit, and fulfillment of our purpose here on earth. But while our purpose addresses why we are here, we primarily have to figure out who we are.
It is from understanding who we are, that we can clearly identify why we are here, and what we are supposed to do to achieve that.
Therefore, we must be able to ask ourselves the hard questions from time to time; Who am I? Who am I becoming? Who inspires me?, Who do I inspire? Who am I accountable to? Are the things I know working in me? Am I truly happy, or am keeping up appearances and living with a feigned faith?
If we can’t take time to genuinely evaluate ourselves, then we are not going to get any better, or consequently who we ought to be.
Colossians 1: 17 says, He existed before anything was made, and now everything finds completion in him… We are complete in Him, and that should suffice that we begin our lives from a place of completeness, and everything that happens along the way should be only the unfolding of who we are.
Colossians 3:3-4 says, Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now 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!
May God help you find yourself, but most importantly, may you find yourself in Him, for our real life is and begins in Him.
Stay Blessed.
