Become the True You

Amos 7:14-15
Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, nor have I belonged to a company of prophets; I was a shepherd and a dresser of sycamores. The Lord took me from following the flock, and said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”

God is calling each of us. No one is exempt. No one is left out. We are all called in some way to use our gifts and talents to build the kingdom of God…or in other words…to make the world a more loving, merciful, forgiving and compassionate place. The sooner you “tap into” your inner source…God’s voice within you…the sooner you will be on the path to becoming who you are called to be…in other words…your “true self.” Many people need to become something else first…something that is usually the product of their egos. This could be called the “false self.” It’s not a “bad” self…just not the “true” self. Jesus calls each of us to “repent” or to change the direction in which we are seeking happiness. That will lead you to a road less traveled. Nothing is more insecure but at the same time totally fulfilling as being on that road where you will not only discover God but yourself in the process.
