- the quality of being real and original.
Oscar Wilde said, ‘Be yourself; everyone else is already taken!’
You are at your most effective when you are being yourself. As St Catherine of Siena put it:
‘Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.’
'I am most effective when I am being myself' Myself is a big word to me because it seems like it's all about myself and nobody else. The fear of man got to go because many times we are not ourselves when we aim to please man instead of God.
God made us who we are with the different gifts and talents to fulfill the calling and purpose that He has for us.
Many times I told God... 'Lord, use me. For I am available and willing to be used by you to do anything that You have called me to do' But I realized when I am not being myself, how is God gonna use me?
These few weeks during cell PL challenged us to be real from the inside out. As we grow older we begin to wear multiple mask that we don't even realized. Are we the same when we are in church and out of church? Do we treat our friends the same? How about our attitude, behavior and speech? Am I wearing any mask to different occasions and location with different people?
I have been reflecting about this every single day because I want to be real and truthful to God. I mean even if I can deceive myself, I can't deceive God because He knows me better than I know myself.
I do not have the confident to say 'YES I WILL BRING THEM BACK' because it is not by my own strength but God's. I can't do it on my own because I am limited as a human being but God is limitless in His ways.
But one thing I do know that is it God's Will for His children to come back home!
