You aren't who you say you are

Or even who you think you are.  You are the you you know, but there is so much more.

There have been a few times in my life when I have caught a glimpse of myself through God's eyes.  Mostly it has been after making my confession to a priest.  There would be a moment, an afternoon, maybe even a day, when I would see past the constructs, the sin, the confusion, the complexity and see myself as simple, beautiful, joy. My heart as wide as the earth.  In those moments, I saw myself as I imagine God sees me.  And I saw you that way, too. 

And I am telling you.  You are not who you say you are.  Or who you think you are.  You are the you you know.  But friend, there is so much more.
