Knowing Me

By Marcia Mosquera Matayoshi

The series of stories in this book aim to help us understand ourselves better and each story will take us to a point where we can better recognize whom we are, and if we truly believe whom we are or if we have an untrue perception of ourselves. If it is so, then we dont know who we are, and this is where God will lead us to our identities and purpose in life.

If you believe and let him in your heart, the results will be plentiful. Specifically, achieving and maintaining the good in us, while curing the bad. Accomplishing, then, what pleases God.

INTRODUCTION

Each story has a way of expressing a view that is similar to ours, which helps us to understand ourselves better.

1. THE BEHAVIOR:

It is a story to show you how we should behave for God.

2. JUANCITO AND PEDRITO:

Here we learn the correct actions between refusing to take what is not yours, getting your things closer to you, and giving and returning what is mine.

3. THE SEA AND THE LITTLE FISH:

It is interesting to see what can happen to you when you get out from where God has placed you.

4. WHO GUIDES YOU?

The part of the body that will lead you to listen to God and lead you under his guidance.

5. THE CAPACITY:

This story is inspiring since it shows us where humankind’s real disability lies.

6. THE FATHER:

This story is about the knowledge of obedience put into action by the love and respect for our Celestial Father, directing us to begin the work assigned.

7. THE BIBLE:

In this story, we learn how man has forgotten of the Bible, and what place it has in our lives.

This book consists of seven stories that will help us to know ourselves better, depending on how we act in each situation. The aim of these stories is to teach each one of us how to act, and how God expects us to obey his laws for the salvation of our souls. In addition, it helps us to teach our families, friends, and companions the proper way to proceed before God’s eyes because if we live thinking erroneously as it said in the following phrase;

• Me first,

• Me second and,

• Me third.

We will be infringing two commandments, which are:

1. Love God above all things; this means that the first place is occupied by God.

2. Love thy neighbor as you love yourself; the second place belongs to your neighbor.

3. As for yourself, the part of the commandment that refers to you, and that is me, and the place that belongs to me is the third place in the order of love.

This order is for the enlargement of the kingdom of God, to help my neighbor and to save myself. Because if I have bread and my neighbor is hungry, and if I give him my last piece, I’m putting God first in my life because I’m doing his will. By helping my neighbor, giving him the last thing I had for the love of Him, I give life to my life and save my soul. Order to love:

• First God,

• Second my neighbor,

• And after myself.

THE BEHAVIOR

On a clear and beautiful day, Disobedience left to take a walk, and she said to herself, "I always do what I want
