"I"

So tonight at a women-only event at church called "Radiant," we were asked to write down on a blank sheet of paper what our struggle is, what it is that we need to surrender or that which is keeping us from from seeing God the way He truly is (or ourselves the way He sees US). It is interesting that my word (well... list) began like this:

identity
image
in depth

All beginning with an "i." So if we were to discover, or at least begin to discover, who we truly are tonight, then who am I in this list? It then became this:

I...
identity
image
in depth

And as I began to think about these things that can be issues for me and who I am in the midst of them, I realized that within a new context, they are actually the Truth I know I should cling to. And so my list became:

I...
identity [in Christ]
image [of God]
in depth [with the Spirit]

That is where my perspective change and mental shift needs to turn. "We become what we behold." True statement. There is so much hope in that! Stay tuned...
