“Who am I?” Have you ever asked yourself this question? I asked myself this question when I experienced the second episode of depression.
Why would I ask this question when I have a relationship with God?
I was lost “doing things” thinking that I was living, but became frustrated, exhausted, and unhappy. This was my way of living because challenged in society to focus on achievements and status. I did what was the standard but was unfulfilled.
God response to my question of who I am was "get in your purpose." He lead me on a spiritual journey for three years to show me who he created me to be. It took three years because I had to learn his way of living. I discovered getting in my purpose was connected to me “being” the person he created me to be. It took 18 months to detox my mind from the mindset I established in my career. I connected to the truth that living is about “being” not “doing”.
Why the spiritual journey?
In John 14:6 Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man come unto the Father, but by me.”
Jesus came so that you could have life the way God created you. Life is the state of “being” who God created you to be which includes supreme happiness. God gave Jesus to you for you to experience who he created you to be through Jesus Christ. The truth to the state of “being” is living in God’s image and likeness. Genesis 1:27 says, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
The source to your state of “being” is living in God’s image and likeness.
You must ask yourself the following question:
Are you living in God’s image?
God’s image is the starting point to living the truth of who God created you to be. I learned the hard way that life is not about doing. Life status and achievements do not validate who you are. “Being” who God created you to be validates who you are. Therefore, it’s important to know the way to enter into the fullness of who God created you to be.
The next questions you must ask yourself:
Are you living in the fullness of who God created you to be?
How do you live in the fullness of who God created you to be?
What is the way and truth to be who God created you to be?
It’s vital to know God’s thoughts and ways to live in the fullness of who God created you to be. Jesus is the image of God and the only person to live on the earth in the fullness of God.
Colossians 1:15 (NIV) says, “The Son (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Colossians 1:19 (NIV) says, “For God was pleased to have all is fullness dwell in him (Jesus),”
Jesus is the way to be who God created you to be and live God’s will for your life which is Living Your Purpose.
Jesus is the truth of your image, strengths, talents, skills, abilities, intellect, ideas, inventions, goals, visions, dreams, character, values, and influence.
How do you live in this truth?
You were given the power of choice. You take ownership to live in the truth of who God created you to be when you make the choice to live in your state of “being”.
This is your access to live the life you were created to experience. Your way and truth to living.
What decision do you need to make to live in the fullness of who God created you to be?
