Who in the bible would be a close image off yourself

For me it started as the. Prodigal son however after reading Philamon I'm probably more like him

Hi,

None absolutely none, though it might be an interesting technigue of study to try to find common characteristics.

What God has done, is to lead me first to Job whose plights, I can identify with, though my own have been no where near as severe. God revealed himself to me via the Book of Job as led by God the Holy Spirit.

 I also can identify with and be greatly encouraged in reading David as  the palmist, loving deeply the 23 psalm for it's personal meaning  and useful application to my own life and well  being.

Probably Jonah. I can relate to being bitter about trying to witness to certain people and thinking i can't wait till they get what's coming to them. And also his feelings of self loathing. And running from God.

At this time in my life, if I had to choose one person in the Bible that I could relate to, it would probably be Martha...

While Mary was able to sit at Jesus' feet, Mary was keeping herself busy with what needed to be done.

I think this is probably a stage in life as a mother. I often see people sitting and relaxing when we do have company over and wonder how it is possible that they can relax when there is so much that needs to be done.

I really can not think of anyone. I am unique

I can see myself in a lot of them. 

Gomer - because I've ran from Christ a few times and went back into the world.

Peter - because I've been known to be angry.

Thomas - because I've had my share of doubts.

Jonah - because I've sat under that tree and complained about what He asked me to do.

Martha - who was working working working instead of resting and worshipping.

The woman at the well - because after I met Him I ran and told everyone I could find.

Mary - because I've finally learned the importance of sitting at His feet.

Prior to being saved, I was like many of the people of the Bible... Peter’s reactive personality, Thomas’ wanting proof, Paul’s persecution of  Christians, and the demon-possessed man(only because of numerous vices and flaws)...  

A few years back, I took an assessment that matched me to John because of his personality and prophetic calling.  

Very thought-provoking question.  I think that however we may see our reflection in scripture, it shows us that God has considered us in our weaknesses as well as our strengths.
