The theme this month of Jason Bourne and His search for the “real him” is so applicable to us. We too, know that there’s got to be more to us. And at times, we made even have moments of clarity where we can connect with that “real me”. The challenge we all have is to make that identity a reality.
So many of us know there’s more to our lives. We dream, we imagine. We may even talk about “one day, I’d like to…” Yet, so often, those things never come to pass.
We talked about all of the things that get in our way - fear of failure, procrastination, intimidation, feelings of unworthiness, pressures of success, etc. All of this can get so complicated within our minds and emotions. However, we have been provided with a way to achieve these purposes… It’s a power within us.
There are so many writings within the Bible that speak to our identities being equal with Jesus, meaning “all that He is, we are” in this life. In fact, He even said that we would do greater things than what He did. God repeatedly emphasizes His ability IN us to bring about things that we, in our own efforts, cannot.
We must first put ourselves in a position to grow. Call it what you will, self-development, personal development or as I like to call it - transformation. At some point, we must realize that life as we know it must change. Our habits, fears, inhibitions and low self worth can only be helped by Jesus… that’s where we must surrender our selves to the process that only He can take us through and that’s very personal and specific to each of us. But we must take the first step.
Last night, questions were proposed to stimulate and provoke self awareness. It is the beginning of us laying our lives down and allowing His creative and caring abilities to transform us from the inside out. We are invited, each of us, to follow His lead in changing our lives dramatically and effortlessly.
What’s the difference between making decisions motivated by what I fear vs. what I want?
Which is more important and why, the acceptance of others or the acceptance of myself?
What do others gain by knowing me?
