Well, I guess one would say that I am awake this morning. In my opinion, I am no where near awake. I tried to get myself to fall right to sleep last night, but my mind was a whirlwind of different thoughts and emotions. I woke up this morning much the same way. I woke up wondering something that I have thought about before. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stand outside of yourself and see who you are as others see you? I only have my own perception of who I am and I can listen to what others say about me, but I really can not step out of myself and truly see what they see. Part of growth and maturity comes when we realize our own faults and change them to better who we are. Wouldn't it be so much easier if we could set aside these shells we live in and take a good, long, hard look at ourselves? I wish so much that I could do that simply because I want to be a better person. I don't want to change who I am for anyone but myself. Thank God for His Holy Spirit to convict me of those things that need changing. And thank God for those who are honest enough to say to me that something in my life needs to change. My prayer is that I never become so content that I do not feel the tug of God on the inner most parts of my heart. Since I am unable to see myself from the outside, I can only go by what is on the inside.

Actually, I have wondered that as well. I would love to be able to see how others percieve me, for alot of reasons.
It is good to know though, that God sees us exactly for who we are, and can show us and help us with what needs changed.
That thought is one that has always been rather icky to me. I have no desire whatsoever to know what others think of me, as I'm sure I'll be sorely disappointed. I have a rather high opinion of myself, you see, and I really, really don't want that to be crushed. ;)
