If I had to choose one question that has the power to shape your entire life, it would be this:
“Who am I becoming?”
This question is deeper than What am I doing?, What do I own?, or How successful am I? Those things can change, but your character determines the course of your life.
Ask yourself:
- Am I becoming more loving?
- Am I becoming more truthful?
- Am I becoming more patient and compassionate?
- Am I becoming more like Christ?
- Am I living from fear, or from faith and love?
- Will the person I am becoming bless the people around me?
The Bible emphasizes becoming over achieving:
“And we all… are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:18)
Every decision you make is shaping the answer to that one question. Your habits shape your character, your character shapes your destiny, and your destiny becomes your legacy.
One question can change a life:
“Who am I becoming, and is that the person God created me to be?”
