“Wholeness is a deep-down, solid feeling of utter OK-ness. It means feeling complete, satisfied—with who we are and what we have. I love this passage from the Bible that, to me, encapsulates what wholeness is: 'I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it' (Ecclesiastes 3:14, New King James Version).
'Whole' isn’t something we eventually become through the right choices and purchases; whole is what we are. And as that Bible passage indicates, wholeness is God-derived. God-given. It doesn’t have to do with wearing the right clothes, eating “clean,” having a particular body type, or living your life a certain way. In other words, wholeness isn’t determined by external or physical factors; it’s actually the very essence, the bedrock, of our identity—our spiritual identity.
This spiritual identity is innate in each of us. . . . So anything else about us—the things we don’t like about ourselves, like our faults, flaws, and limitations—isn’t the real deal. All that stuff is an incomplete or mistaken view of ourselves that drops away as we learn more about this God-sourced spiritual identity—more about our inherent, unchangeable wholeness."
