Asked whether he thought he had gotten to know Lagerfeld, Marconi said, "I have the feeling I know him now ... though in truth, you never really know anyone."
This quote came from an article about a mysterious clothing designer (Lagerfeld) and the correspondent who followed and filmed him for a year to try to understand the personality of this complex, talented and reclusive individual. It made me think about how we all have layers to our identity. We reveal different layers to different people either because of varying comfort levels or to have different kinds of impact. In a way I don't even think we know ourselves entirely. When you consider that the Lord planned our makeup from the beginning of time, we actually spend a lifetime getting acquainted with who we are. He designed us each uniquely for His purposes and it is our challenge to unwrap the package of our personality, find the gifts buried within, like treasures, and find ways to become part of His solution as He reaches out to the world. It's kind of amazing to consider that one of the greatest frontiers and most exciting adventures of our lives lies within, as we pursue God's blueprint for our individual lives.
1 Corinthians 4:7-8 (The Message) For who do you know that really knows you, knows your heart? And even if they did, is there anything they would discover in you that you could take credit for? Isn't everything you have and everything you are sheer gifts from God?
blessings,
