OK. I am really beginning to wonder what is up with this.
Today, as I spent time with the Lord, I ran across some devotional words written by one of my favorite guys - Chuck Swindoll. This is what I received from them.
No matter how significant you may become, no matter how well known your name, no matter how important your work, no matter your salary, no matter what your reputation may be, you must allow yourself to become who you are.
The greatest gift that you can give others is WHO you are. Think about it like this..."We are not who we are, we are not even who we think we are. We are who we think other people think we are." Read that again. If you're in that world no wonder you have struggles with character!
Character will not emerge from a phony life, which is all the more reason to go back to that word - AUTHENTIC.
Know who you are. Accept who you are. Be who you are.
