Lesson 3 | Who Am I? | See the Design

What has shaped your understanding of who you are? When you reflect on the habits and personality quirks that have become identity markers for you, do you see the character of a parent, grandparent, teacher, or friend within your own actions? When you fail, are you gracious and hospitable to your own mistakes — or is your mind full of repeating messages that convince you that you’re needy, unlovable, loud, untrustworthy…? When we hold distorted images of our own identity, we miss out on God’s invitation to be a beloved child sharing His presence with others around us. No matter how you feel about your internal tapes, awareness of how you’ve formed your own ideas of self-identity is a necessary step in true connectedness to other people.
