Haunted

'It's in Christ that we find out who we are.' Ephesians 1:11

..."Phillips Brooks remarked, 'When you discover you've been leading only half a life, the other half is going to haunt you until you develop it.' Self-discovery is what Paul had in mind when he wrote, 'It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for.' You were made by God and for God. Until you understand that, your life won't make sense. It's 'in Christ' that we discover our purpose, our significance and our destiny. In other words, we discover our true selves!"

Wow, I love Phillip Brooks remark, it is so true on so many levels. I know I'm not a lone in this, but their are times I fear I am living only half of what I could be living and that does haunt me. As a dreamer, I can't imagine getting old and one day realizing I could have done SO much more. I often ask myself, what can I do to get there.. HOW HOW HOW? Then of course I am reminded, Christ, that's how. The closer I am to my creator the more I learn to function in ways he created me to function. The closer I am, the more I know Him, the more my soul flows out purpose that without him would utterly be unknown.
