Around two years of age, we, as human beings, start to discover that we are a 'self' and we begin our journey to identify that new self. However, the psychological sciences tell us we are not capable of being objective and unable to self-identify.

We are rather invisible to our self. We are dependent on the reflexion of our self coming from other's eyes. But, our friends, family, community, culture and the world at large does not see us in a wholly integrated, complete or accurate way. We therefore suffer an ontological anoui as we feel like we are not truly understood. We experience alienation, loneliness, futility and lack of motivation to journey on with sense of self-confidence, peace and fulfillment.

But, if we turn our face to God who created us as unique individuals with value and worth to Him and gave us a destiny and then empowered us to achieve it, we will be known and thoroughly seen. Seeing our reflexion in the face of God makes the invisible visible to us...suddenly everything makes sense.
