Be Self-aware

Be self-aware:

Being self-aware as a Christian means being aware of not only who you currently are but who, through Christ, you can become. When we come to the Lord, we come with bags in tow – everything we experienced and learned in the world is present and accounted for. The spiritual reality is that we are a new creation in Christ; however, in the natural, we are an accumulation of worldly habits, behaviors, and beliefs. As we grow in our faith, our knowledge and our commitment, we shed this fleshly aspect of ourselves – a sometimes slow, arduous process, but a necessary one. Putting off the old and putting on the new (Eph 4:24), we lean into God’s welcoming embrace and rest. And as we rest in Christ, just as the seed rests in the earth before sprouting, we begin the process of growth and change.

Father-God, may Your Spirit teach me that becoming self-aware does not mean becoming self-absorbed. Help me to fix my eyes on Jesus as He is my True North.
