God’s Reworking Might Surprise You
I made one little video on Tiktok and BAM - God revealed that we need to be talking about this: God refining our personality. I shared a video about how there seem to be 3 faucets to our personality: what is actually us, what we have ‘put on’ to be able to navigate situations, and what is us but the enemy has perverted it.
When God refines, He brings out the best of who He created you to be.
In this week’s episode of Seek JOY, we’re diving into how God’s refining fire shapes our character so we can reflect Christ more fully without losing the uniqueness He designed for us.
[Because you’re here with me, you get to watch episodes before they premiere to the public!]
THIS WEEK’S SACRED SOUL NOTE…
The Joy of Jesus
Halfway through my designated path the clouds slowly opened up and drip by drip, the sky broke out in song.
That’s what it felt like anyway.
I walked. I smiled.
I leaned into the joy of Jesus in it all. God created His own music, ya know. We weren’t cool enough to discover that on our own…
This week’s scripture:
So God created man
in his own image;
he created him in the image of God;
he created them male and female.
JOURNAL PROMPT:
Think about a part of your personality that God might be refining right now. ow do you see Him shaping you through it?
Follow-up Questions:
What traits in my personality have I always considered “just who I am,” but may actually need God’s refining?
How have I seen God use my strengths for His glory?
Where do I noticed pride, impatience, or fear showing up in the personality?
Desire prayer this week? (tbh, your answer should always be yes)

In joy,
Cheyenne
