The Pretender: Lessons from the Life of Jacob

If you are a complicated person, you are in good company. We all seem to be a smorgasbord of complex, conflicted issues. We wrestle with the conflict between who we are and how we would like to appear. We stress over how others perceive us and who we think we’re supposed to be. Obviously, this leaves little time or inspiration to become who we are. God has created us to be unique in this world. He built us to fit. God cannot bless our imitation of someone else. To be who we are is a struggle, and the first obstacle to vanquish may surprise you and will certainly be a tenacious, formidable foe.
