Who are you becoming?

Dallas Willard says, "The most important thing in your life is not what you do; it's who you become." This week we talked about our beliefs, and action reveals belief. So what you do reveals what you believe. Often we are unaware of our actions or how others are experiencing us. These actions reveal our beliefs. For example, this morning, I was in a great mood, and it was early. I'm an Enneagram 8, and when I get excited, it's intense, and I came off as trying to be to hard and void of intimacy. Once offered this feedback, I became irritated and felt like my wife was labeling me or putting me in a box, leading to a crucial conversation.

If action reveals core belief, what does my response (or action) to this feedback reveal about my core belief? On the surface, the answer is easy. I'm not safe; I need to protect myself, but if I go one step further, perhaps the real belief is rooted somewhere in shame and that I believe I'm not worthy of love. If I believe this is true, then do I believe in a God who loves unconditionally?
