Am I being my authentic self? I asked myself that question so many times, but it remains a mystery. I wonder how a collection of roles in life defines a person, yet choosing to favor one role over the others at times sounds like you’re being disingenuous.
There’s no better way to find our authentic self than to align ourselves with God and live out His purpose with integrity no matter what. I for one play many roles each day; and by role, I mean that of a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend, employee, etc.—all lived experience. But I understand that depending on who I am with and what I must do, that is my important role.
So be intentional in pleasing God, mindful in speech and genuine in actions, for “whoever walks in integrity walks securely” (Proverbs 10:9).
