A Choice: What I Am Or Who I Am?

It seems so normal to know people by what they majored in, what they do, what neighborhood they live in and what they drive.  That takes a couple of minutes.  To know who they are, that will take longer.  But first, does one even know oneself?  How often do people look in the mirror and ask who am I?  If one is not humble, honest, kind or good, then what is there to offer?  Nothing, for there is no inherent richness in ability, intellect, wealth or pride.  That all goes away at death.  What is left is the soul.  A boastful, dishonest, cruel and hateful soul is a bankrupt soul and it will end up in Hell.  There are no bankrupt souls in Heaven.  A humble, honest, kind and good soul is a rich soul and it will return to Heaven.  The souls that are able to return to Heaven had in their incarnated lives majored in their own conscience, done all that is good, lived in God's favor because they drove themselves earnestly to be more like Christ.
