Knowing Yourself!

Key Scripture: Psalm 139:14

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful; I know that full well.

Meditation:

This verse speaks to God's intimate knowledge and purpose, your birth, emphasising God's sovereign plan for you. Is it not our duty to know what is in the blueprint or creator’s manual for your life?— the Bible.Before you can build a healthy relationship with others, it's essential to understand your own identity and worth. Psalm 139:14 reminds us that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made," God designed with intention and purpose.

Recognising your God-given value is the foundation of self-awareness and personal development, allowing you to navigate relationships confidently and authentically. Knowing who you are in Christ strengthens your ability to love others and build meaningful connections, especially in marriage. It may require deep spiritual and pragmatic analysis."Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV):Activity:

Today, reflect on your strengths, weaknesses, and unique qualities. Engage in self-reflection or journaling to explore your identity, considering how God has uniquely crafted you. You can also try a personality assessment to gain further insight into your character. Knowing yourself better will help you bring greater self-awareness and authenticity into your relationships, laying the foundation for building healthy, loving connections, especially with your spouse.
