Don't you ever wonder, who am I? I guess this question could be taken at least a couple of different ways. Like, what makes me relevant, or how do I see myself, or I am just a speck in the great expanse of time?
The main idea that I am thinking of here is: where does my self-worth come from? Is it from what others think of me, or an inate feeling, or is it what God thinks of me.
"The tough thing about Christian spirituality is that you have to mean things. You can't just go through the motions or act religious for the wrong reasons... After all, if we are going through religious motions to get people to think of us as religious, praise us and all that, we are receiving our false redemption from a bunch of people who are going to be dead in fifty years. This is a shabby replacement for an eternal God."-Donald Miller

Searching
Started to re-read a book by Donald Miller called, Searching for God Knows What. Great book. He seems to be able to say things that I have often thought about, but have never been able to articulate them. In my mind,speech or in writing. Basically he is saying our relationship with God is not formulaic but is relational. This makes way more sense to me. What do you think?
