Someone once said,
"What comes into the mind when we think of God is the most important thing about us, for we tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God."
When C.S. Lewis read that quote, he responded,
"I read in a periodical the other day that the fundamental thing is how we think of God. By God Himself, it is not! How God thinks of us is not only more important, but infinitely more important."
Until we become grounded in and fully embrace God's view of us, trading in our broken misconceptions of ourselves, we will not be able to get free. It is the Truth that will set us free, and God's view of us is the correct one!

I spend far too much time discovering who I am. It's an endless road

Discover who you are in Christ and your purpose. Then focus on that. You will start to forget about yourself more and more. This is both liberating and fulfilling all at the same time.

Yep, you can lay that burden down, @Kemar935 . God has already told us who we are!

@Kemar935 C.S. Lewis said that we truly discover who we are in Christ. By giving ourselves up to God, He makes us truly what we are supposed to be. Life is discovering who we are in God's eyes because we can only discover what he has in store for us minute by minute. If you are still lost, don't worry; God knows the way.
