Mystery

God is mystery.  So are we. 

Man is truly a mystery to himself.  Do we really know who we are?

Our true identity is revealed to us through Christ.  Only in Him can we come to true understanding.

We really do not know ourselves all that well.  We, in fact, are a mystery to ourselves but not to the Lord.   In the light of the love of the Lord we know by faith, there are certain conversations with ourselves that we must renounce.   We should not attend to that self-occupied conversation in which we pat ourselves on the back for our piety.  Neither should we attend to that inner dialogue our ego holds with itself about how unimportant we are.   Neither of conversations of pride or self-pity speak to us with the voice by which the Lord speaks to us in our depths.  Neither of these voices knows the truth about who we are before Christ Jesus.  Neither of these voices understands how much He cherishes us and yearns to share everything with us.
