We have all heard the phrase, “be
who you are, and the right crowd will find you.”. But the question is
which ‘who’, are we talking about? You will eventually find the people who are
like you and are willing to be part of your circle. As a matter of fact, we
attract who we are, not what we want. The people who identify their personal real
image in others, join and flock together for identity, benefit, and survival.
The real version of you, is not the one
identified by people based on your status, position, and name. Although in this
world we gain our worth by the number of followers we have, the amount of power
we exercise and most importantly how much money we make that keep us high on
the social ladder. Who you are can make you big, rich, and famous, yet all
these are temporal. The fact is identity, and position changes based on the
status that changes us over time.
People are continually yearning to be
recognised and identified by people. In the process, they have transformed
themselves as gurus and godmen, gained great followers, made big money with
established entity, only to be found later that it was just another big scam
and racket duping many people. They either abscond or are imprisoned. Finding
the real version of you can only come true when you allow God to transform you
to the person, He intends you to be.
The original version of who we are is
found in the Bible which states, “for all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God.” Today, everything is addressed in this world except
the sin problem. Religion takes advantage of it and provides intermediary
solutions. Religion has made people merchandise and has allured them to perform
rituals in the so-called holy place. Sin issue is never addressed and is the
real cancer that distorts the truth, destroys our conscience and morals. We
slowly live devoid of sane conscience and live an adapted version of who we
want to be.
The Bible states of Christ's sacrifice in
this way, "He himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and
not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.".
Therefore, we find forgiveness and are transformed to a completely new
image. The documentary of Big George Foreman who was once the world’s
heavyweight boxing champion portrays the true transformation after God’s
encounter. The new image activated his conscience to ask forgiveness from his
opponent because of the grudge and anger he held against the person. The
true version changes you with eternity as focus and makes your heart overflow
with love and peace.
