Who Are You Becoming?

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)

Your relationship with Christ means that every day you wake up, you are surrendering to becoming the person He is shaping you to be.

Who are you becoming?

What influences—both internal and external, natural and spiritual—are the influences that are shaping you? Who are you becoming after all of the

• hurts and mistakes
• setbacks and pains
• heartbreaks and disappointments
• betrayals and missed appointments
• poor choices and failed attempts?

Who are you becoming with dreams altered, goals adjusted, successes and failures experienced, and after so many detours?

If Jesus is shaping the person you are becoming, it's going to have an impact on your perspective and your interpretation of experiences. You'll learn how to absorb heavy blows differently. You'll learn to investigate pain with a different set of lenses. You’ll appropriate joy and blessing in a way that shapes deep thanksgiving and gratitude. It will hammer out your perspectives in life and give you a different embrace of lived experiences—until you're able to stand up and say, “When I'm weak, I'm strong.”

If Jesus is managing the shaping of who you are becoming—and I pray that He is—you'll envision your life differently. You'll chase things differently. You’ll search for meaning in things differently.

We are all becoming something. And I'm asking you, who are you becoming?
