Living From Your Authentic Self
from United Church Gatherings Hosted by Trevor Grindle
My, what beautiful battlefields you are. The push and the pull, the back and forth we experience in the struggle of identity, to live from and grow into our own authentic self, this is the great struggle of being. Our struggle for identity and authenticity, the comparison games we play, and our attentiveness to critical difference push us apart, erecting walls of division between one another. We have failed to see the image of God in ourselves, and because we cannot see the image of God in ourselves, we fail to see the image of God in others. We are beautiful battlefields that have been brought together as one, in peace, through grace, because of Jesus. It is in this space that we can push and pull each other, in love, to live from your authentic self.
