In You, I'm Found

Is it possible that who we really want to be is found in Christ?

There's the obvious of our identity, but there is the person that inwardly, each of us desires to be. It's built into the uniqueness and make-up of who we are as people, and all of us are aspiring towards being this better version of us. Whether that's the better husband, the better father, the better friend, co-worker.... It's found in Christ.

It's found in Christ.... and with that is found the peace of finally ceasing our endless striving. We become the peace of Christ when we find ourselves in Christ. It's like the person that we have been searching for is found in our presence with Christ. It's not a matter of looking up and saying "There I am, I finally am found in Christ", but it is choosing to be found in Him. It's telegraphing our hiding spot in a game of hide and seek. It's telling people that they know where to find us. It eliminates pride in being self made people, and it is evidenced by the God-given fruits of His Spirit in our lives.

We have a choice.... we have the ability to allow ourselves to be found in Christ. It doesn't have to be a mystery anymore and it allows us to Be Still.... and know that He.... is God.
