Being free from our past requires that we see God’s true character working through it. Understanding our present and our own identity requires a clear view of the One who is sovereign over it all. Moving into our future and understanding our purpose and calling, require trust, faith, and hope in God, which comes only through a right understanding of who He is.

We must be careful not to have an isolated view of God— if He’s just our savior, or if He’s just our healer, or if He’s just our father—we’re missing who God really is. He’s all of these things and so much more. We can explore in any direction and continually find more and more of God. There’s so much to explore and understand and get to know about God—He’s never-ending.

And if we are truly made in God’s image, then the more we learn about God, the more we learn about ourselves, and the more we learn about ourselves, the more we learn about God. It’s an incredible bond that we have with our Creator, continuing to the realization of Jesus’ prayer in John 17:22, that we become one with the Father, even as they are one.
