I think I believe this to be true, but for some reason still find myself resistant to the idea of thinking I am special or unique in some way. Maybe it’s cultural conditioning. Maybe I just think I’m still not living up to my full potential and so don’t deserve the classification. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have a rich friend who always says things like this to me. “You’re special, you were anointed” etc… and I always recoil at it. Feels smugly congratulatory or something. Like if I believe it I immediately lose my edge.

Well, Jesus was very special and they nailed him to a cross for it, so your mileage may vary. It's possible that you're subconsciously afraid of the terrible fate that oftens awaits the anointed. I also fear it, but I am doomed to prophecy.
