Bible Verse of The Day – 6-8-19

Psalm 139:13 (NKJV) 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.

Are we trying too hard to be someone we are not, and never will be? Are we working day and night to do something that we just can’t seem to get right? Maybe we just don’t have what it takes, but we feel bad if we give up.

So, instead we walk around feeling frustrated and disappointed all the time because we are not able to be who we think we need to be. Sometimes we even end up being afraid of what others may think about us.

There are going to be things in this life that others are going to do better than us. And there are things we just won’t have what it takes to do. We need to face this simple truth so we can rest and be OK with who we are.

I will never be as good as some people are at certain things. I just don’t have it in me and it’s not something I can really learn. But, I’m alright with that because there are things in me that no one else can do like I do.

Our contribution to this world as who God made us to be is huge. Don’t waste time trying to be like so and so.

We all have our uniqueness, our special talents and gifts, etc. And they are beautiful! God made us. We need to spend more time being real, enjoying the person that we are now and that we are becoming through God’s shaping of us.

Have fun and enjoy who God made us to be. We will bless so many people with our realness, completeness, and our joy in the Lord!

Psalm 100:3 (NKJV) 3 Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-30-19

Psalm 133:1 (NKJV) 1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

The body of Christ is like a puzzle. Every piece of that puzzle is uniquely cut. It has its place and purpose to help complete that one puzzle.

Puzzles cannot be complete if we do not fit the right individual piece into the right place, or if we lose a piece.

Just as we are all individual pieces of God’s work on this earth, there is a purpose for our unique individuality.

How will the artwork of our Father, His bride, ever come together as one if we keep saying “no” to the very person or piece that will fit into that place where it needs to be?

Each child of God is different. And in that uniqueness, God brings together a beautiful completeness in His bride as He shapes us and molds each of us into a new creation.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Let Him teach us how to let the individuality of His children come together as one. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-5-16

Psalm 139:13-14 (NKJV) 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

We are all unique.

God has made each and every one of us special as individuals. We have our own traits, our own thoughts, expressions, movements and so much more. There is nobody else on earth that is exactly like you!

And it’s important that we stay unique individuals, not a copy of someone else.

Throughout our lives, we are exposed to many other people and their ways of doing things. Our parents, our siblings, our friends, and even our spiritual leaders, such as a pastor or mentor, all play a part in shaping us.

Many times we will find ourselves taking on the traits or habits of others, simply because we have been around them so much. They begin to “rub off” on us.

Other times, we begin to emulate people that we like or want to be like. Sometimes this is OK, but many times we lose our God-given identity in order to try to be like someone else.

And in some drastic cases, we can actually begin idolizing our spiritual leaders, if we’re not careful

God wants us to be us. Plain and simple. He doesn’t want us to model ourselves after anyone. It’s OK to learn from others and use what we learn to draw closer to God. But we have to be careful not to simply emulate someone. Being like someone else will never, ever give us a closer walk with God!

So let’s be sure that we are being who God made us to be, and not just imitating or following after someone we know or look up to.
