When we are young, and still learning how the world works, it’s so easy to look outward for who we are. If we haven’t already gained a clear understanding of our identity, our core values, and where we are going, we become vulnerable to defining ourselves through the eyes of others.
Without that anchor, we begin to evaluate our worth based on how people treat us—how they perceive us, include us, honour us, or dismiss us. The people in our lives become mirrors. And tragically, we accept their reflections—flawed or not—as truth.
We judge ourselves by their treatment. When they elevate us, we feel high. When they reject us, we shrink. So our sense of self moves like a yo-yo, rising and falling on the waves of human opinion.
But every person must come to a turning point.
And for young people, this is especially crucial.
We must come to the moment where we meet God.
Because in discovering God, we also begin to discover ourselves.
We realize we are born of Him. We carry His divine nature—His spirit, His essence, His character. His love, His peace, His wisdom, His strength… these are not far away—they are in us.
This is the first revelation: that your true nature mirrors God’s own.
But it doesn’t stop there.
God, in His brilliance, also wove into each of us a distinct personality—uniquely shaped, thoughtfully designed. Yet life often distorts it. Upbringing, trauma, culture, and unmet needs all tug at this personality. Some parts get hidden. Others get exaggerated. And sometimes, foreign pieces are added that were never meant to be part of who we are.
But under all that, your pure personality still exists.
This is the second revelation: your personality, in its most authentic and refined form, was handcrafted by God to reflect a facet of Him that no one else carries quite like you do.
And then comes the final beauty.
When a person has come to know God’s nature within them, and has also uncovered their pure personality as God intended it, something sacred happens.
They begin to yield—to let God flow through that personality.
Their boldness, their gentleness, their humour, their quietness, their creativity, their precision… all the unique elements of their personhood become a channel through which God expresses Himself in the earth.
This is the third revelation: the fusion of God’s Spirit with your God-given personality—this is your place. Your calling. Your essence.
And when this Amalgamation happens—when God is known, your true self is discovered, and you allow God to move through that self—you become deeply rooted.
Secure. Confident. At peace.
You are no longer tossed by opinions. You are no longer measured by comparison. Because you now know who you are.
Dear child of God, if you have not yet realized that your nature is divine… that your personality was designed on purpose… that your uniqueness was made to express God in a way only you can…
Then perhaps, you have not yet truly seen yourself.
But there is still more.
Because once individuals have come into this understanding of their divine nature, their pure personality, and their purpose as a vessel of God’s expression, then comes the revelation of unity.
This is the fourth revelation: that true unity is not sameness—it is the beauty of many different expressions of God coming together, side by side, in love.
Unity is not conformity. It is not duplication. It is not the erasure of differences.
Unity is when each person brings their unique form—their distinct expression of God’s Spirit through their personality—and offers it as a gift to the whole.
In this kind of unity:
1. You don’t shrink when you see someone else’s greatness. Instead, you marvel at the wonder of God’s intelligence in creating such diversity.
2. You no longer see people as competition. You shine, and you honour their shine too.
3. You understand that we were never meant to live isolated lives. We are called to walk side by side—not in solo, but in sacred fellowship—sharing our beauty with the world.
This is the church: not a mass of identical beings, but a glorious mosaic. Each person—refined in identity, surrendered in personality, yielded in spirit—joined together in love.
