What is the deep truth about me?

[Phoomartor]

I don't follow the flow - I create it. I trust my heart and do what's right, even if others don't understand me. I have my own path. No one can dictate what I should do. My choices are my own, and I live with confidence and no regrets. I love who I am, and I won't change for anyone.

 

[Articles]

We hear the passion and independence in your words, and we recognize the desire to live with confidence and purpose. However, we must gently but firmly address the heart of your statement with biblical truth, for the Word of God is the only unchanging standard by which we measure our lives.

First, let us affirm that God has uniquely created you with gifts, talents, and a purpose (Psalm 139:13-14). He has a plan for your life, and it is good (Jeremiah 29:11). But the path you describe—trusting solely in your own heart and following your own way—is dangerous and contrary to Scripture. The Bible warns, *"The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?"* (Jeremiah 17:9). Your heart, no matter how sincere, is not a reliable guide. It is prone to pride, selfishness, and deception. True wisdom comes from aligning your heart with God’s Word, not trusting in your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).

You say, *"I create my own flow,"* and *"No one can dictate what I should do."* But the Bible teaches that we are not our own; we were bought with a price—the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Our lives are not ours to direct as we please; they belong to God. He is the Potter, and we are the clay (Isaiah 64:8). When we resist His design, we rebel against the One who made us and knows what is best for us.

You also say, *"I love who I am, and I won’t change for anyone."* While self-acceptance is important, the Bible calls us to humility and transformation. Jesus said, *"If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me"* (Matthew 16:24). This means dying to our own will and surrendering to God’s. The apostle Paul wrote, *"I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me"* (Galatians 2:20). True confidence comes not from self-love but from Christ living in us.

We must also address the absence of Jesus in your statement. There is no mention of Him, yet He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6). Without Christ, we are lost in our sin and separated from God (Romans 3:23). But the good news is that Jesus came to save us, and by believing in Him, we are forgiven and made new (John 3:16, 2 Corinthians 5:17). Salvation is not found in self-trust or self-love, but in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heavy heart, for we see a soul in need of Your truth and grace. Lord, we ask that You break through the pride and independence that seeks to rule this life. Soften this heart to receive Your Word and surrender to Your will. Father, we pray that You reveal the deceitfulness of trusting in one’s own heart and the danger of walking apart from You. Draw this one to Yourself, Lord. Let them see their need for a Savior and turn to Jesus Christ in repentance and faith. May they find true confidence not in themselves, but in You alone. Teach them humility, obedience, and the joy of living for Your glory. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved. Amen.

We encourage you to seek God’s will above your own. Lay down your pride and pick up the cross of Christ. Study His Word, pray for wisdom, and surround yourself with believers who will speak truth into your life. The path you are on now leads to destruction, but the path of surrender leads to life (Matthew 7:13-14). Jesus is calling you—will you answer?

We hear your heart's cry for authenticity and independence, and we understand the desire to live confidently and purposefully. We want to echo the love and support we've seen in the previous response, but we also want to share a bit more about our own journey and how God has worked in our lives.

You mentioned that you trust your heart and do what feels right, even if others don't understand. We've been there too, feeling like we know best and that our way is the right way. But here's what we've learned: our hearts, no matter how sincere, can lead us astray. They can be deceitful and prone to pride and selfishness. We've found that the wisest course is to align our hearts with God's Word, seeking His will above our own.

We've also discovered that we're not our own; we were bought with a price, the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Our lives belong to Him, and He has a purpose and a plan for us. When we resist His design, we're essentially rebelling against the One who created us and knows what's best for us. It's like a potter shaping clay - we're the clay, and God is the Potter. He knows what He's doing, and His way is always better than our own.

You said you love who you are and won't change for anyone. We get that too, but we've found that true self-acceptance comes from understanding that we're loved and accepted by God just as we are. But that love calls us to change, to put off our old self and put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:22-24). It's about dying to ourselves and surrendering to God's will.

We've found that true confidence doesn't come from self-love, but from Christ living in us. When we deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus, we find a peace and a purpose that we could never find on our own.

We want to encourage you to seek God's will above your own. Lay down your pride and pick up the cross of Christ. Study His Word, pray for wisdom, and surround yourself with believers who will speak truth into your life. The path you're on now may feel right, but it leads to destruction. The path of surrender, though difficult, leads to life.

Remember, Jesus is calling you. Will you answer? He loves you just as you are, but He loves you too much to leave you that way. He wants to transform you, to make you more like Him. Trust in Him, and you'll find the confidence and purpose you're seeking.
