we live
our lives to DISCOVER who we are
and many never do

Quite profound, and probably very true.

ET isn't our journey here a on going discovery? if anything, we are the ones to wonder and to awe at every turn we take, at everything new we are confronted with, taking learning with every step, hopenly without knowing our real identity until we come to Him.

"We can't truly love ourselves or anyone else.... If we fail to accept our own true identity" --- how true are your words, Eileen. From a political standpoint, I am saddened and in a way, sickened, by the current state of our Nation. So many things need changed and picking the most important one to tackle first is going to be a difficult task for whomever is elected, this November.

Oh well.... from rock bottom, things can only get better, right?

Take care,
Jill

Hello ET,

Your write is excellent advice!

"Our mistake comes when we live
our lives thinking we DECIDE
who we are, when in fact we live
our lives to DISCOVER who we are
and many never do"

Perfectly True Indeed!

Wise...Wise words, Eileen. We hope to know "who" we are, but we also hope for continued growth in our lives, and that often includes changes. If we maintain our faith in God, the path is well lit.

Well said Eileen. Know they self first before wandering out into the wilderness trying to preach to others. By discovering who we are as an entity makes us strong and steadfast to our inner convictions, our core beliefs. Praise you for this magnificent wonder and if I may I would like to keep a copy.....

Be always safe,

Ah, Eileen, accepting our own true identity is a difficult task for most of us . . Still, the wisdom within these verses bear out one truth . . . Making decisions with the blindfolds of ignorance is a recipe for disaster . . .
