Bible Verse of The Day – 12-9-18 – It’s OK To Be Yourself

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in Jesus’ name! 

We all have various relationships in our lives; marriage, friendship, co-workers, classmates and much more. And each of the people that we interact with regularly can have an impact on how we act. 

God has made each of us with certain strengths, talents, qualities and personality traits. It’s all part of who we are. But some people constantly put pressure on us to change who we are. They want us to surrender who God made us to be in order to please them. 

Our latest video talks about being who God made us to be. In that video, we discuss many of the things that can cause us to give up who God made us to be. And we talk about how to avoid being pressured into changing just because certain people say we should. 

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to give it a watch.

Enjoy your day and keep pressing in to God. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-9-18

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Many of us struggle with who we are, who God made us to be. We wrestle with trying to be ourselves. And, instead, we try to follow in the footsteps of someone else, emulating someone we know or someone we look up to.

It’s not wrong to see good qualities in others and then work toward having those qualities in ourselves. But way too often we take it beyond that and we try to be that person. We try to walk in their shoes, live their life and almost take on their identity.

But God has created us to be unique. He has placed specific qualities in us that are there for a reason. He has plans that He wants to carry out in each and every one of us. So, the last thing He wants for us is to see us get caught up in trying to become someone else.

You have skills, talents and abilities that were placed in you by your Creator. He has made you who you are. Yes, you may have some faults and shortcomings. We all do. But they are nothing that He can’t help us overcome and correct.

We just have to let Him.

And the way to do that is to submit and surrender to Him. We need to start letting Him guide our steps, showing us what to do and when to do it, instead of us always telling Him what we want to do and how we want to do it.

Father, please forgive me for trying to be someone I am not. Please help me to learn exactly who you created me to be. Help me to stop looking at everyone around me and trying to live their life.

Help me, God, to see myself as someone with a hope and a future, not as someone who has run out of chances. I trust you to do a good work in me and fix the broken things in me. I give you permission to show me how to live my life with my eyes on you, not on others.

Thank you for hearing my prayer. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-7-17

Psalm 139:14 (NKJV) 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 

There are so many things around each of us that can try to influence us in many different ways. 

Some will try to make us think that we are bigger than life… invincible. 

Others will try to make us feel like we are less than who God created us to be… worthless. 

Still others will make us feel that we can only have worth if we do certain things, follow current trends, buy a specific brand of product, look a certain way, etc. 

These can be found everywhere we look; on TV, in movies, in songs, in advertisements and in so much marketing material that we are barraged with every day. 

You see, God has made us each unique. He has created us fearfully and wonderfully. But what does that mean? 

It means that we were created in a way that words can’t even fully express. Our body and everything about it is incredibly intricate and awesome to behold. Nobody can truly explain how we were put together so incredibly. It’s more than the human mind can conceive or comprehend. 

Think about the different parts of our bodies. Our eyes, our ears, muscles, our brain, and all of those internal organs that we never see. 

They all function together in harmony, keeping us going every day. It is truly miraculous! 

And He has done this so we can be His. He wants us to follow Him, worship Him and exalt Him in our everyday lives. He wants us to love Him with everything in us. Whether we do that or not is up to us. 

So, the next time you see yourself in a mirror, stop and consider for a few seconds how God made you. And marvel at this wonderful creation called the human body. And thank Him for His incredible works. 

He has made us fearfully and wonderfully. What will we do with who He has made us?
