For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
1 Corinthians 13:12
I have known a thousand scamps; but I never met one who considered himself so. Self-knowledge isn’t so common.
–Ouida
Self-awareness is a tricky thing. The people who seem to have themselves all figured out are often completely oblivious to how they truly are. Likewise, the people who are on that constant journey of self-discovery are often the most self-aware. Healthy spirituality is all about bringing about more and more self-awareness because true faith does not happen in a vacuum. This is why we need communities of faith; spiritual siblings act as mirrors for each other reflecting and highlighting each others’ beauty and grace while concurrently supporting and spurring each other towards goodness and love.
