“This is what the LORD says: ‘Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight’.”
Jeremiah 9:23-24
When I was born, I came to the world with everything I needed to survive. God made me a multifaceted person with all the organs and systems I required for structure, breathing, digestion, communication, strength, reproduction, and fighting diseases.
In addition, He equipped me to think, feel, make decisions, be intuitive, form attitudes, and develop a sense of what is right and wrong. I have been forming a way of viewing my world, making judgments, and discerning people, events, and things based on my beliefs.
My prejudices and biases influence the way I interpret everything. The more I learn, the more questions I have. Even though I have studied and learned many things, there is still an infinite amount of knowledge of which I am ignorant.
However, there is one thing I know for sure. The Lord is more real to me than ever, and my greatest desire is to know Him more intimately. I trust God with my future because He is always there for me, no matter what happens.
