Who you are is too vast to be captured by the reflection of a mirror, classified by the state of your attitude, or categorized by the opinions of others. Therefore, if any of these are defining you, you have yet to be defined.

I take my cues from the world around me and carefully paint a self-portrait that the world can’t help but accept. However, I would be much wiser to put down all such artistic notions and hold up the portrait of me painted by God simply because that is a picture at which the world can’t help but marvel.

There is that gnawing feeling that we are far more than what we believe ourselves to be. Maybe it’s time to believe the gnawing.

What I do is the truest mirror of who I am.

If I don’t know who I am apart from everyone else, I probably need to spend some time apart from everyone else.

It has nothing to do with who I am as compared to everyone else. It has everything to do with who I am in companionship with God.
