Be You

We’ve all been in there.  Standing in front of the mirror, feeling bloated, wondering where our skinny waist went, deciding on the next hair style, the next outfit, or the next something that will make us feel good.  But did you know that God considers you his masterpiece?

 

The word says that we are ‘fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14).  In fact, Ephesians 2:10 says: “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”

 

Beyond the superficial, God created us with a plan.  You may think you were a mistake or the result of a careless act, but God has a plan for you.  You didn’t catch him by surprise.  Check out what Psalm 139: 15-16 says: “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, your eyes saw my unformed body.  All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” So don’t let social pressure or negative thoughts steer you away from your determined purpose.  Be the best you that you can be! After all, there is none like you! 

 

God gave you the gift of life so what will you do with it?  Will you waste time feeling down about yourself or fervently pursue him to accomplish all he has in store for you?  Remember, “What you are is God’s gift to you. What you do with yourself is your gift to God” -Leo Buscaglia. So get out there and live out your purpose!
