~May Your Light Shine :D~

To know your life's purpose, you need to have self-awareness as well. Taking a leaf out of Jesus' book, one can see that He knew God was in control through
1) wickedness of man & Satan (Luke 4)
2) denials and betrayal (John 13)
3) suffering of pain and shame (Luke 23)

When we face any of these, do we instinctively trust that God is in control? Or do we begin to fret and worry excessively and try to control the situation ourselves? Or worse, do we blame God for it?

Jesus was also fully aware of He is - Son of God. Hence, he need not prove Himself nor did He have the fear of losing out (i.e. He was not kiasu/kiasi). He was able to take on the lowest of roles (washing another's feet) because of this.

If you are a born-again Christian, let me tell you who you are. You are
1) A child of God, co-heirs with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17)
2) A New creation in Chrst Jesus, of infinite worth and deeply loved (2 Corinthians 5: 16-18) -hence you ought to have a sense of value and security
3) Completely forgiven, fully pleasing and totally accepted in Him - sense of satisfaction and stability
4) Absolutely complete in Him and one of a kind - sense of significance and sufficiency.

Do you know who you are or are you still finding your identity? If you truly know who you are, then you have nothing to prove, nothing to lose and nothing to hide. But if you don't, then you will live life as though everything can be taken away from you.
