UNDER CONSTRUCTION: YOU by Susan Woodcock be-come: v.i., to grow to beg change or develop into by growth. be-com-ing: n., the change from non-being to being, a coming into existence. Webster's New World Dictionary The Wheaton student, as a member of the high-caliber Christian body of Wheaton College, often feels in- adequate. The people around him seem so strong in their functions for the Lord. He forgets that growing has an i-n-g on the end . . . Well, sir, said the proverbial patient on the proverbial couch, I think I have a wounded self- esteemf' It's no laughing matter that many psychologists feel their clients' problems stem from a low view of self. And Christians may have a unique brand of that problem, due to a fundamental paradox in their faith and up- bringing. Committing one's life to Christ means two things as far as the self is concerned. In our repentance we recognize our own limitations, and our incapacity to do anything good on our own. This crushes the spirit within us, and intentionally so, because then an awareness of God's love and grace follows. Even so, the reception of grace, Uunmerited favor, leaves no room for pride, and only a seemingly usurped sense of worth. God did not elect a people to be un- happy, insecure, and depressed! Therefore a view of the Christian life that makes it unhealthily humble must not be right. The Christian has supposedly found real purpose for his existence. He deserves some good feeling about it. Assigning your little sister the responsibility of stirring the pud- ding will probably make her feel quite important. Meaning in life comes from the feeling of being useful, as well as the feeling of being loved. Paul teaches in his epistle to the Corinthians that each Christian fits into the Body of Christ for a tailored function of his own, by which he glorifies God. We are created unequal-in talents, said Dr. Mitchell in his February 27 chapel message. It seems, then, that no Christian should worry about his own value, since he has a divine commission to carry out during his lifetime. The problem might be that we Christians think of our position in God's kingdom as a role rather than a commission, as a goal to strive for rather than as a life to live daily. We think, I'll be a minister, a Chris- tian bank president, a loving mother . . . Yet even then I won't be everything I ought to be, but I'll keep trying. Does this mean that we feel of no use to God along our road to His perfection?
