The Gift of Being Yourself

what God had already revealed about who I am.

If I really believe that I was created by God and invited to find my place in his kingdom, I have to take seriously

even more basic place in which God’s will for me has been communicated.

My temperament, my personality, my abilities, and my interests and passions all say something about who I was called to be, not simply who I am.

times of intentional presence involve the quieting of the mind (particularly your thoughts), it involves a higher degree of openness to contemplative knowing.

That is in the givens of my being.

Jesus was on his way to knowing his calling because he was perfectly and completely the True Self.

Pride and arrogance move us toward our false self,

humility and love allow us to live the truth of our being.

The way of the true self is always the way of humility.
