How Should We View Ourselves?

God doesn’t want a bunch of clones. You should not let people makeyou feel badly about yourself because you don’t fit their image of whoyou should be. You were created to be you. You were not created tomimic somebody else. If God had wanted you to look like a perfect model or have a different personality, He would have made you that way. When you go around trying to be like somebody else, not only does it demean you; it steals your uniqueness.

An important factor in seeing yourself God’s way is to understandyour intrinsic sense of value. Your sense of value cannot be basedon your successes or failures, how your friends treat you, or howpopular you are. It is not something we earn; indeed, we cannotearn it. God built value into us when He created us. As His unique creation, you have something to offer this world that nobody elsehas, that nobody else can be. Your sense of value should be basedsolely on the fact that you are a child of the Most High God.

Quiet yourself and receive God’s Word: “We are God’s workmanship” (Ephesians 2:10). The word workmanship implies that you are a “work in progress”. God is continually shaping us into the people He wantsus to be.

Be an original, not a copycat. Be secure in who God made you to beand then go out and be the best person that you can be. Even ifeverybody else rejects you, remember, God stands before you with His arms open wide.

IF YOU RUN THE RACE AND BE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN BE, THEN YOU CANFEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF.

"Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its trouble, it empties today ofits strength"

Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you are in perfect position to pray"
