I'm afraid I'll have to take issue with this one."Being true to yourself" is to me in complete opposition to the Christian faith, which is based on being "Being true to Jesus Christ". If I was true to myself, I would be a lazy, careless, inhospitable, ungenerous, arrogant, bossy, objectionable person. My faults are many, and if I was true to myself, it would not be a pleasnt sight. Fortunately, I was saved by Christ and I want to go against my own character. I work at letting Christ change me so I can be less like myself, and more like Him (without losing my own personality!). Our nature is fallen, and to be true to it is to be follow a sinful way.
