+    Who am I? The search for self often results in little more than a

+    In His great love for us, Jesus lays claim to who we truly are. He

+    self. As we respond to His loving initiative in our lives, the
+    most profound and authentic parts of our personhood come forth.
+    The light of powerful love awakens us, and calls us out of the
+    shadows of \textbf{lesser selves}. Through His reflection, we
+    become aware of \textbf{who we truly are}.

+    Jesus alone possesses the knowledge of that true self;
+    we see ourselves only in part. He sees us in full. Often our
+    “self-portrait” is \textbf{composed of damaging brush strokes
+    applied by others or by our own distorted efforts to create a
+    self}. But in truth only the Creator of the original work can
+    define it. One with the Father in the creation of each person,
+    Jesus intends on reclaiming the true image He created in us
+    (Jn 1:3).

+    Suppose a painter created a beautiful painting, one that
+    bore his distinctive design and style. His pride in the work
+    was matched only by his distress when vandals stole the
+    painting and mistreated it until the original design was barely
+    recognisable. Their fingerprints smudged it; layers of dust
+    and grime obscured the true form and colours intended by the
+    painter. He searched everywhere, going from gallery to loft to
+    attic until he found his work. Then gently, but with unerring
+    accuracy and skill, he restored the work, removing the layers of
+    damage and enabling his true design to emerge.

+    We can say that \textbf{bearing the image of God} is the most profound and
+    authentic part of our humanity. And that image shines forth as we
+    welcome Jesus into our lives. It is the true self that says “yes”
+    to Jesus. And it is only \textbf{through responding to Jesus and His
+    loving initiative in our lives that we discover who and what that
+    self truly is}. As C.S. Lewis said: “Your real, new self (which is
+    Christ’s and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will
+    not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you
+    are looking for Him."
