I Find Myself In You

How often do we end relationships, quit jobs, change cities, update our wardrobes?
All for the sake of trying to find ourselves?

I don't believe that we were ever lost, but instead I believe that we lost focus on God.
We followed our own selfish desires--dated for the sake of loneliness, took a job for the status and esteem, moved to a city because we craved newness, or thought a new outfit would somehow restore our heart and inward feelings.
All those reasons and escapes are from trying to find and hold onto control of our own doing and not of Christs.

How can we ever feel lost when we are found in God?

There is no fear in Christ, no condemnation.
Perfect love drives out fear.

It is only Christ's love that is perfect and complete. If he is our focus, if He is our confidence, our security, our trust-- then we are in His will and our lives have purpose, passion, and peace.
He created us each uniquely with spiritual gifts, talents, and passions. He knew who you were before you were even born--He had a purpose and a plan to make you shine for Him.

The Heavens are an eternity away from the earth, but He created us to shine, exude praise, and be visible in between the two.
It is God that gaps the distance and who gives us the strength, courage, and confidence to be spotlights in a world of darkness.

We are never lost when we are found in God.
We never lose who we are until we lose sight of Him.

Isaiah 32:17
The fruit of righteousness will be peace;
the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.
