Read 2Corinthians 5:17-18 and Jeremiah 1:4-8.

As we try to answer the question “Who Am I?” we need to know what God wants for us. What does he think about us?

We also need to look at ourselves – our interests, abilities, weaknesses.

As we go about answering this question we also need to talk with other people. Hearing about our strengths and weaknesses from others often tells us things about ourselves that we overlook.

Jeremiah 1:4-8
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg LXX Hebrew
4And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations.
6And I said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
7And the Lord said to me: Say not: I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee: and whatsoever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak.
8Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.

Having the valuable trait of treating other people as you’d like to be treated at all times is an advantage in today’s world. No person wants to be treated poorly or without respect. The self control and natural quality of treating people with kindness and respect brings joy to countless people. People don’t understand how or when they treat their bodies below what God would want. Smoking, alcohol, and greedy diets are examples of enjoyment that are not what God wants. People believe if those examples make them feel good then the substance is good for their bodies and state of mind. The choice to live life without God is our own. God doesn’t necessarily want people to follow him but to live their lives with the compassion that God would. Choosing to live a healthy and spiritual life is the life God wants us to live. God doesn’t expect us to follow all his rules literally all the time. People make mistakes. The effort your putting into life and living healthy is what counts. God wants us to take the best of ourselves and make this world better with our traits that advance our lives in a positive way. [...]
