KNOWING WHO WE REALLY ARE

The poet E E Cummings (1894-1962) wrote, “A lot of people think or believe or know they feel — but that’s thinking or believing or knowing; not feeling. And poetry is feeling — not knowing or believing or thinking.

Almost anybody can learn to think or believe or know, but not a single human being can be taught to feel. Why? Because whenever you think or you believe or you know, you’re a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you’re nobody-but-yourself.
To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.”

Cummings also wrote, “It takes courage to be who you really are.”

Any serious Christian knows this battle of knowing who we really are… especially as followers of Jesus, it requires feelings… but they are feelings with faith.

“You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.” Jesus
