The truth about ourselves

The only way we can truly know who we are is being in a relationship with Jesus. He knows who we are in heaven; what we're known for; who He created us to be. What we ACT like here on earth, is not exactly who we ARE in heaven. Who we are in heaven is who Jesus planned for us to be all along.

Last night, I got fed up with my sarcasm (that's sayin a lot when you get fed up with your own sarcastic humor), and decided to take it to God. I didn't like the way I felt when I used sarcasm to put me in a higher place over another person. The only way I can really get to a higher place is through Jesus, anyway. So I told God "I hate this part of me." He quietly, and kind of with a chuckle, said "But Sarah Eve, that isn't even who you are! Check this out!" And He started showing me who I really was. He created me with a great sense of humor, and I don't need to use sarcasm to be funny. He told me all of His "opinions" of who I am to Him, and who He made me to be. It totally wrecked me. So I took out my notebook and wrote down everything that He told me.

After all of that, I read over the list. It's really long and deep, but truth. Now that I know who I really am, I have to practice being that. Obviously, it won't all come natural, because I've lost that sense of who I am in the Kingdom - but I can certainly practice. Practice makes perfect. And although I may never be perfect, I can certainly be righteous.
