Tag: What the Bible says about being who God made you

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-3-19

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.

We are all fearfully and wonderfully made. But some of us can’t accept it because too many people have made us look at ourselves differently.

There are things they have called us and things they have said about us.

We have taken on who they said we are and we don’t even know who we really are anymore.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be who God made us to be and have friends and family that are OK with that? Wouldn’t it be nice to take off the mask?

We have worn our mask so much, we have forgotten who we really are. It’s sad, isn’t it?

One day we will get tired of it all. And we will be done with it. We will not understand why, for so long, we participated in conversations and activities that we were not interested in.

Today is that day.

Do you know that you are beautiful the way you are? And yes, we can all use some chastening here and there. But don’t you dare lose who God made you to be. You need to be you. You don’t need to be them.

Be You! Funny, loving, caring, smart, very organized, a troubleshooter, a hard worker, compassionate and anything else God has made you.

We know that God is speaking to your heart today, and our prayers are with you.

God loves you! Let’s enjoy who He has made us to be without fear of being disowned or rejected. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-7-19

1 Peter 1:24-25 (NKJV) 24 because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, 25 But the word of the Lord endures forever.”

Our flesh, like the grass, withers away. And the glory of men falls away. The only thing that endures forever is the word of the Lord! Amen.

We don’t need to put so much emphasis on becoming something or someone great! If it happens, then so be it. But let’s not knock ourselves out trying to make it happen.

All God asks from us is to be ourselves, who He made us, through Christ’s redeeming blood.

If we are going to put emphasis on anything, put it into working hard at following the Lord’s commandments. That is what matters most to Him.

We need to learn how to allow His Spirit to move in us each day. He is our Helper. He gives us power, strength and the love we need to walk out His commandments accordingly.

We can do nothing without Him. We need to be connected if we hope to bear fruit.

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Let’s get close to our heavenly Daddy.

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 – 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. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

Enjoy your day and keep pressing in to God. 

Sincerely in Christ,

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-15-16

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.

It’s important that we know what God thinks of us. People’s opinion of us can sometimes sway us to the left or the right. People’s opinions or words over us can affect the outcome of our lives hugely.

Why do we let what people think and say about us affect us? Why do we let it mess with our minds and emotions, causing us to sometimes be less than who God really wants us to be?

As children, we learn from the beginning that we get different responses and reactions from people based on what we do. If we’ve done something good and mom’s happy with it, we know that what we did was a good thing.

As we grow up, we learn what works and what doesn’t work to get praised or get a good reaction from others. And we carry that throughout our lives, when we go to school or work a job, etc.

Wherever we go, we watch and look for the reactions of others and we then base who we are on their thoughts about us and toward us. Our confidence gets built up on what others think or say about us.

God is saying today to each one of us, personally, that He has thoughts toward us! Our confidence should come from Him and Him alone.

Are we listening to His thoughts toward us today or are we letting everyone else mold us?

He has a future for each one of us. He tells us who we are and who we will become. Amen.
