“Who are you, really?
You are not a name, a height, or a weight, or a gender.
You are not an age, and you are not where you are from.
You are your favorite books and the songs stuck in your head.
You are your thoughts and what you eat for breakfast on Saturday mornings.
You are a thousand things but everyone chooses to see the million things you are not.
You are not where you are from. You ARE where you’re going, and I’d like to go there too.”
By M.K.
We love this quote here at “Think Up Magazine”. It shows the reality of the world and how judgmental of a place it can be, but we, as part of society, have the ability to change this cultural norm. What you need to realize is that what people think of you isn’t necessarily who you are, nor how you think of other people isn't necessarily who they are. “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged” (Mathew 7:1).
We are many things. God says we are made in His image to be like Him (Genesis 1:27). We are beautifully, fearfully, and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). God also says we are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). The old is gone and the new has come. In God we find ourselves washed away from our past mistakes, pure and holy in His eyes. He sees our past as nonexistent because he accepts us for what and who WE are. We are our favorite books, drawings, and paintings. Everything that is created by us is a part of us in one way or another. We call it self-expression for a reason. They are expressions from inside our very being. You are creating something unique from nothing but your imagination. How absolutely wondrous is that?
Do I Have Worth?
Who are You?
