(Zechariah 2:8 NKJV) For thus says the LORD of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
Have you ever been around your friends, family or those closest to you, but you are not really happy because when you are around them you can’t be yourself?
When you are around them, do you feel like you have to conform to the way they want you to do things and be the person they want you to be? If you don’t, do you know you are going to have to listen to them correct you and tell you what you are doing wrong? When you try to be yourself do you feel uncomfortable because you know they are watching every move you make and judging you for it?
What a hard place to be. If we continue to allow this behavior to control us, then we really aren’t being ourselves. We are being who everyone else wants us to be.
God wants us to be us. He wants us to be REAL! Even if we might not like what we see in ourselves or how we act at times. To Him, we are the apple of HIS eye.
If we are always acting like someone else, we will never see the true person that we are and we will never get help in the areas of our lives where we need it most.
If we continue on this road we will be unhappy all the time. We won’t change if we never see who we really are. Instead, we just hide it. This is not happiness; it’s not what living is about.
Today, know that we are the apple of God’s eye, He loves us and wants to help in all areas of our life, but we have to be real with ourselves for Him to be able to reach us.
