And sometimes you just need to be your own witness. Because only you know where you come from and where you’re going, and what all the life in between has been. When it really comes down to it, only you can know who you really are and what you are made for. Of course, there will be times when others simply don’t believe you. It’s those times you just need to find the inner resources to say, “My testimony about myself is valid.”
The alternative is to let others define you. To let their narrative of where you’ve come from become your origin story. To let their vision of your future become the dominant prophetic voice. To let their summary of you become your life story.
Before God, learn the truth about your own story. Listen to what he has to say about who you are. About where you come from and where you are going. Then you will be able to say to others, “My testimony about myself is valid,” because you can also say to yourself, “His testimony about me is valid.”
You are never merely your own witness.
