We go through life building our resumes, as if they are our true identity. Even in our religious obligations, and our service we are unconsciously collecting our little badges and points. What we often fail to realize is that at our Baptism God throws away our resume, because we have become his beloved child. We no longer need a resume, just like a child does not need a resume to be accepted in his own home. If we can understand this simple message, that what the Father said to Jesus at his baptism was also meant for us:

“This is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased”,

then we have everything we need to succeed in life’s journey.
