what does it mean to "know yourself"? So many times when we seek to "know ourselves" we do that through analyzing ourselves by various means and methods. We think that we are machines that can be taken apart and put back together at will.
There is tremendous value in exploring in detail our past experinces, what brought us to where we are today. But here's the deal: we will never completely understand ourselves and be able to explain ourselves fully to others.
How can I fully "know myself"? By realizing who I am in Jesus. Through solitude, silence and prayer. Through getting in touch with my spiritual center in God. That is not something that can be analyzed but only known through my daily communication with God.

About the time I think I have myself figured out, I surprise myself with stuff I didn't think was there. I find it more and more necessary to have God and less of me. As I go along, I find myself yearning for the day when I will know God as He has always known me. I think one writer put it this way, "Know as I am known."
