I'm content with who I am too at this stage of my life.Besides from being ugly, stupid, and broke; "Yes" I'm not only happy, but thrilled with who I am.
Kidding...... I'm not sure its healthy to ever be happy with who we are? If we are content with who we are, there's no reason to ever try and change for the better.
Me neither, not by a long shot am i anywhere near the person i want to be.. But i have hope that i will be way better then the best person i could ever imagine when i am transformed by God on the day of the reasurection...
If a person is happy with who they are now then i fear for that person..
Yes we can be at peace and content with our situation knowing that God has us covered.. But happy?? No Way..

Gabe, this is actually how I feel when I'm spending time alone with God. Haha!! I love who I am in His Presence. Rather, I love who He and I are in His Presence: Father and daughter.
As for who I am, yes I do like who I am. Of course, I know even at my age I'm still the Lord's work in progress. But most of the time I'm a very upbeat, happy person and I enjoy making others feel at ease around me.
I was just responding to Tourist's post that says "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands". I'm glad that you're happy AuntieAnt.Gabe, this is actually how I feel when I'm spending time alone with God. Haha!! I love who I am in His Presence.

I wish I could say the same.
I heard a different version... something about shake your pills... I think it was a modernized version though.
I think I have grown so much over the past several years...in the furnace as it were. I am fairly content at this moment, but understand that I'm still a work in progress and will be for life. I'm just ready to be out of the pressure cooker for a while and enjoy a time of rest and peace, while continuing to grow in my knowledge and faith in God.
In the words of John Newton;
"I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am."
"I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am."
I would say that I am not happy with myself. There is so many things wrong with me. when I begin to right those things and concentrate on those areas I fail in other areas. If I turn my attention to those things I slide back where I was working to "fix" things.
I am learning more and more that I do not do things solely for doing right. I am finding that as I examine my motives there are underlying selfish and sinful motives. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can understand. Jeremiah 17:9
I am grateful that faith is a gift of God and does not depend on me. Ephesians 2:8-9
This does not mean that I do not live accordingly. I do not continue in sin since there is grace. Romans 6:1 ( I believe the spirit will convict you of sin so that you will battle with it) But I need to remember that doing "good" does not save but should be fruit of salvation.
So I am where I am. I will not always be here and I am sure there are tough roads ahead. These will be used by God to teach more much needed lessons in this very imperfect life.
Sadly I have a feeling I won't ever like where I am. But part of that may be good in not giving myself a big sense of inflated ego
