Day 99/100 - Becoming Who You Were Always Meant to Be

 

“Spiritual growth is about becoming who you were always meant to be.” – Anonymous

 There’s a quiet, liberating truth in today’s quote. It reminds us that spiritual growth is not about striving to become someone else. It’s about returning to ourselves—uncovering the person we were created to be before fear, comparison, and expectation clouded the view.

Each of us carries within a divine imprint, a spark of sacred truth. But over time, life tends to pile layers on top of it - roles we’re expected to play, stories we’ve been told about our worth, and fears that whisper we’re not enough. Spiritual growth is the gentle and courageous act of peeling those layers back. Not to erase ourselves, but to reveal ourselves.

It’s not a one-time revelation. It’s a daily choice to step into alignment with your true self—to listen for the quiet call of your soul beneath the noise. Who are you at your core, beneath the titles and the tasks? What gifts or passions are still waiting to be lived out? These aren’t questions to answer perfectly, but invitations to explore.

This morning, I paused to journal about who I’m becoming - and who I’ve always been, deep down. It surprised me how much of that truth has been with me since childhood. There’s a purity to that original self: curious, connected, creative, loving. I’ve grown and changed, but some of those core qualities feel like home.

And so today, I offer this prayer:

Loving God,
Thank You for the unique person You created me to be.
Help me to grow into the fullness of that calling,
letting go of fear and doubt,
and embracing the truth You have placed deep within me.
Guide me today to take steps toward living authentically and fully.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Spiritual growth doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes, it’s as simple as choosing to speak the truth, or say no to something that drains your spirit. Sometimes, it’s picking up a long-forgotten passion, or letting yourself rest. The small choices matter. They are sacred steps on the path back to your truest self.

Small Practices for Spiritual Alignment:

• Spend time in quiet reflection or journaling: Let your core values and longings rise to the surface.

• Identify a fear or limiting belief: Gently release it through prayer or meditation.

• Take one intentional action that honors your authentic self - set a boundary, follow a spark of joy, or pursue a calling.

• Surround yourself with people and practices that support your growth in healthy, encouraging ways.

You were never meant to be a copy of anyone else. Your journey is sacred, your presence needed. Today, may you remember: becoming who you were always meant to be isn’t about striving...it is about unfolding.

Keep going. You’re closer than you think.
