I recently watched the Marvel movie, “The Eternals”. In one scene one of the demi-gods was
struggling to learn how to understand and control their newfound powers. While this is all fantasy and doesn’t reflect
my theology, it got me thinking about the uncovering of your true self. Rather than focus on the Herculean struggle
that it can be this thought, it changed my perspective completely. It can be difficult, but it is also the
biggest adventure of our journey. The
rewards of living in your true self are very real. Your “magic” as the quote refers to is your
ticket to freedom, life, and fulfillment.
Once you connect to your creator and live a life of intimacy with Him
you will find a whole new level of existence.
Your cooperation with Him and submission to His plan will bring you into
harmony with your life journey. Like an
alcoholic describing his process of becoming sober, it is difficult, but the
process is worth it.
This shift is very important. When you live with masks and pretend your
life does not work. When you begin to
uncover the person that God created you to be you will find life more
abundant. The submission to Him and the
courage to be unapologetically yourself is to live in intimacy with your
creator and to embrace his will for your life.
It is to experience the joy of belonging. It is to discover your place in the
healthiest, most loving family there is.
It is to find the peace that passes all understanding. That is why the focus on the outcome is so
important in this process. You may have
to face and process things that you wanted to avoid. You may have to acknowledge things about
yourself that cause you discomfort and pain.
You may end up dealing with many complications in relationships as you
begin to transition into your creator’s image of you. You will experience a great release from
bondage and experience liberation at a level that is unprecedented.
Like most spiritual processes this is an ongoing activity. Satan is ready to bring back the bondage and
chaos if you succumb to the temptation to pretend. It is as close as a single decision to pretend. The chilling effect on your spirit will come
quickly. Like all sin, it is actually
more natural than living righteously. It
will feel better because you are in control of the process and you know the
territory. The chaos and bondage will
return and even that will feel more natural than freedom. So remember, this is an ongoing effort that
will require vigilance and awareness. This
is a lifetime journey, so don’t become oblivious and apathetic. Listen to the voice of your creator. He will guide your steps.
