I am Me and I am sticking to it!
Today I started with a happy heart and then something
happened. On my drive to work I became
irritable and grumpy and it stuck with me as I arrived at work. Every little thing was bothering me. Well, the light bulb just came on and I
realized that the enemy is having his way with me. Guess what?!!? This girl is not gonna let that happen!! Starting from this moment forward I am
sticking to being me! And ME is the
person that God created, and that is a very happy and blessed person! J As proven by His powerful words below:
Therefore, if anyone is in
Christ,
the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!
2 Corinthians 5:17
(NIV)
I praise you because I am fearfully
and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from
you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together
in the depths of the earth.
in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed
body;
all the days ordained for me
were written in your book
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
Psalm 139:14-16
(NIV)
Psalm 139:14-16
(NIV)
Throughout this life on earth there are always going to be
people that try to knock us down and insult us, among many other mean things to
hurt us, as they are doing the works of the enemy. Unfortunately, I have spent a lot of my time
here living with a lack of confidence and therefore allowing these people to
put me down. This lead to my own belief that I need to change to please them,
or, in my own unhealthy mind, I was convinced that I needed to change to please
others because I was not good enough. I
am so grateful that I now know that to be lies straight from the devil!
My sisters, I ask you to soak in the beautiful words
above. The Lord God created each of us as
a unique and special person. All of us
are meant to be here to share and glow in the love of Christ. We were not made to have a desire to be like
any other human. We are each created
individually, each carrying God’s love in our heart. We should use pass on our beauty and
surround all others with that beauty making a statement of God’s love for
each of us. The one “For sure and
Forever” in this life on earth is His love for us. Let’s show Him how grateful we are for
that!! Amen!!
Two of my very favorite verses follow:
Do not conform to the pattern
of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—
His good, pleasing and perfect will.
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—

Romans 12:2
(NIV)
(NIV)
For I know the plans I have
for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
(NIV)

What we need to remember when we think about ourselves and put ourselves down, that God did not make no junk. Every single one of us is uniquely made and fashioned as a work of art by God.
