Understanding Myself and Others

At this stage in my life, it is amazing to realize there are things about myself I still don't know.  Scarey, actually.  I have recently been learning about the basic personalities that we each have.  Although we are each completely and utterly unique, there are a set of basic personalities that affect each of us.  I have been set free by discovering that God made me just the way I am, and that is good.  That may sound basic to you, but somehow, it is an utter revelation to me.  As though I have been in a room with a certain amount of light where I could see, the things in the room haven't registered in my consciousness until now.  "Oh, so this is a chair I have been sitting on all this time!  Cool!" I know, very basic. 

I am enjoying watching those around me, and recognizing personality traits in them, and acknowledging that it is o.k. that they are not like me, because God designed them to be that way.  And, everything He does is with purpose and intent, for He is the God of order.  I don't feel like I need to apologize for myself all the time, and that is incredibly freeing.  Not to give myself a license to act anyway I want to.  But, to validate that I am not an accident.

How  wonderful to comprehend that God accepts me and loves me as I am , for He really did make me this way, and I am being changed from glory to glory through Him!

Your Right!
