You see, a lot of Christians used to be pretty little white or near-white lambs lost in the pasture until they heard the Master's voice and He cleaned them up and gave them a fresh start and they followed Him.
I, on the other hand, was one of those filthy, scraggly, half-eaten, black and bloodied little goats in the wolf's mouth. When the Master spoke to me and I heard Him, He made me altogether new. I am a lamb now and I don’t want to be any where but transparent in Him. I don't want to get down and frolic in the pasture again. ever
I can well agree with that.
I've been a more than plenty hideous goat far too much of my life, myself--inspite of trying otherwise a lot of it.
But I wasn't talking about:
I am a lamb now and I don’t want to be any where but transparent in Him. I don't want to get down and frolic in the pasture again. ever

My points about personality and God shinging through us/being reflected in us
imho,
have NOTHING to do with the above.
Yes, as Paul so well outlined, in this current state/time-space dimension--the two natures are inextricably linked.
But that shall not always be so. PTL FOR THAT!
And when that is no longer so--WHEN that is NO longer so--I shall be
most fully His perfect channel/reflection AND MOST FULLY the me HE DESIGNED me to be.
imho.
But you were always one of His lambs, AG, loved by Him from before the foundation of the world.
You just didn't know it until God shined His light into your heart and told you so. 8~)
