You continue struggling to see your own truth. When people who know your heart well and love you dearly say that you are a child of God, that God has entered deeply into your being, and that you are offering much of God to others, you hear these statements as pep talks. You don't believe that these people are really seeing what they are saying.
You have to start seeing yourself as your truthful friends see you. As long as you remain blind to your own truth, you keep putting yourself down and referring to everyone else as better, holier, and more loved than you are. You look up to everyone in whom you see goodness, beauty, and love because you do not see any of these qualities in yourself. As a result, you begin leaning on others without realizing that you have everything you need to stand on your own feet.
You cannot force things, however. You cannot make yourself see what others see. You cannot fully claim yourself when parts of you are still wayward. You have to acknowledge where you are and affirm that place. You have to be willing to live your loneliness, your incompleteness, your lack of total incarnation fearlessly, and trust that God will give you the people to keep showing you the truth of who you are.
看不到別人比較可怕，還是看不透別人比較可怕?很多時候我們花很多時間聽別人講述自己需要聽的信念、知識、方法、激勵、優缺點、獎勵、懲罰... 但我們似乎沒有真實地看到自己。 自己在哪裡?孤獨在哪裡?以及自己的不完美在哪裡? 相信神會給我們這樣的朋友讓我們真正地認識自己!
小謀老師曾問我們當引導員帶活動問題反思時，可以接受團隊多久沉默的時間來思考? 可怕的不是沒有信念分享，而應該害怕的是分享出來的竟然不是自己!
