Many times in my life I have wondered exactly who I am. There have been times when I felt as though I had little value and wondered if anyone would every love me or want to be with me. Although I always knew my parents loved me, there were times when I felt all alone. Often, I wondered if anyone else ever felt the same way.
Recently, I was blessed to be chosen to review Becoming Myself, which is a DVD Bible Study. I have been a part of several different Bible studies in the past, and they have all taught me different things. This Bible study actually made me realize that by "Becoming Myself," I am becoming more like Jesus. I have always known that Jesus loves me, but this Bible study reminded me that he loves me now, with all my flaws, even when I do not love myself. Jesus loved me and died for me long before I was ever born. He knew all about me and He knew the life I would live and the struggles I would have. He knew I would want to change things, and myself. The only problem with me changing and becoming myself is that I was trying to do it all by myself, without consulting the Master Creator. This Bible study reminded me that there were a lot of people and things that molded me into who I am now, and with the help of Jesus, I can become the me that God dreamed of!
There are 8 sessions in the Becoming Myself Bible study series, and they each are around 15 minutes long. The sessions are thought provoking and are ideal for a small group discussion. I plan to share this Bible study with my women's group at church. This is a powerful study that could benefit every one.

I've never tried doing a devotional using a DVD. Did you prefer it to a book version? I think this would be helpful when watching with a friend or family member.
We plan to do this one in a few weeks. A smaller group of us, which is good with a study like this where you're discussing your past and some deeper feelings you might have about yourself. Thanks for your thoughts on it!
