Hello to everyone this is new to me but i am on here to meet new people.I am a single woman and I am learning each and everyday to be thankful for the time that I have to be single and really build my relationship with God. I really enjoy uplifting others and i am a great person to talk to whenever there is the need. I would love to leave you with the word of the day- It's in Christ that we find out who we are.
Ephesians 1:11 TM
One day a boy climbing in the mountains found an eagle's nest with an egg in it. When he got home he put it under a hen along with her other eggs. When the eagle hatched he thought he was a chicken. He learned chicken behaviour and scratched in the chicken yard with his 'siblings'. He didn't know any better. Sometimes he felt strange stirrings within himself but he didn't know what to do with them, so he ignored or suppressed them. After all, if he was a chicken he should behave like a chicken. One day an eagle flew over the chicken yard and the eagle looked up and saw him. In that moment he realised he wanted to be like that eagle, to fly high, to go to the mountain peaks he saw in the distance. As he spread his wings he suddenly understood that he was like that eagle. Though he'd never flown before, he possessed the instinct and capabilities. At first he flew unsteadily, then with greater power and control. Finally as he soared he knew he'd discovered his true self - the creature God made him to be.
Phillips Brooks remarked, "When you discover you have been leading only half a life, the other half is going to haunt you until you develop it." Self-discovery is what Paul had in mind when he wrote, "It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for" (Ephesians 1:11-12 TM). You were made by God and for God. Until you understand that, your life won't make sense.
It's 'in Christ' that we discover our purpose, our significance and our destiny. In other words, we discover our true selves!
