Don't settle for simply taking on a particular image that appeals to you - cool, sexy, glamorous, tough, bohemian, cosmopolitan, or something else. Realize that cultural images alone are superficial.

Dr. Harry E. Coffman's Good Enough: Discovering the Secret of Your True Identity PDF

Behind their appeal is a God-given longing to be everything God wants you to be. Recognize that the urge you feel take on a cultural certain image is really a desire to grow. You already have within you the best image of all, since God created you in His image. Focus on discovering more about what God's image looks like in you, and how you can express it more in your life.

Move beyond appearances to truth. Even though the culture tells you that it's enough to simply appear good, God calls you to actually be good. Going to church on a weekend and then going home and living an unfaithful life for the rest of the week isn't okay. Following God's guidance in some ways such as giving to charity and being a good friend to others but not in other ways such as lying and gossiping isn't enough.

Invite God to take control of every area of your life - from your work to your romantic relationships - and to transform you from the inside out. Then you'll have the power to live with integrity and grow into a truly good person - not just someone who tries hard to act the part. Break free of feelings. When you don't know who you really are, you become a slave to your feelings, constantly reacting to them and becoming confused when they change.

Turning to God - rather than your feelings - for your sense of identity will give you a solid foundation that remains the same no matter how changing circumstances affect your feelings. When you trust God, you'll experience lasting peace that will guard your heart and mind in any situation. Stop seeing church as a movie. Don't just consume your church's worship service like you would a movie, enjoying the emotional experience of it and then just moving on. Instead, invite God to encounter you in church and change your life as a result of that encounter. Open yourself up to all the possibilities of how God may choose to change you as you worship Him in church.

Listen for God speaking to you, and act when He leads you.

Realize that holiness isn't about trying to achieve perfection, which is futile no matter how hard you may try. Holiness is about wholeness - growing into a relationship with God that allows you to be at peace with Him, yourself, and other people. Thanks to Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross, that relationship is possible right now, with all of your imperfections.

If you trust Jesus, He will help constantly transform you, empowering you to grow more into the person God intends you to become. So let the fact that you can count on God to help you become more holy give you the confidence you need to pursue holiness. His prayers were going unanswered-was it God or me?

God of War - Kratos Reveals to Atreus He's a God

I'm an avid reader, spiritual seeker, and it's through those eyes that I read Dr. Many of the books I read, get shelved shortly there after. However, there's a handful of books that I keep out, within easy grasp, as there's a gem I want to refer back to often. This is one of those books. This book is an easy read, and the message of righteousness can't be missed.

It's stated over and over and over from every direction possible, and just by reading the book a transformation will be made. You will look at yourself and others differently and a sense of peace will be present that you didn't notice before. However, at a deeper level, the pages on gratitude are life altering. The mind can't accept the statement as truth and immediately undoes any new thought you are working to affirm. Coffman provides a list of things to be grateful for and each one is phrased so beautifully that the mind can accept them as truths now as well as for the future.

This list alone has the potential to provide healing to those that seek it.
