Who’s Me

If we are made in the image of God, then we contain all the essentials. If that is true, then why are we looking for something that we’ve already got??? It seems to me that very few of us know what we have going for ourselves. We spend most of our time looking outward for signals that we’re acceptable. What we don’t realize is that everyone else around us is looking for those same signals. Each of us tells the other person what they want to hear so we can all be friends. In time, this information becomes "truth" and defines you and I in a real but also limiting sense. I suppose all of us are what we seek but very few of us find it because we never look internally and go exploring let alone mining our treasures.
