Thought for the Day - Be Yourself

Have you ever noticed that some people you come in contact with seem phony; like they aren't who they seem to be? So many times we try to not be ourself by acting like someone else because we think that they're better than us. Perhaps we think they're more eloquent than us, or more spiritual, or more popular. We compare ourselves to people around us or on television and think, "if only I could be like them, they're so....", then we do everything we can to imitate them.

God has made each person unique and special and loves everything about us. We are supposed to be different from everyone else, not carbon copies because we all have a unique calling. He has a purpose for each of our lives, and if we become who He has made us to be, we will be able to fulfill our purpose. Our life is a journey, and we are always seeking to be the perfect creature that He desires us to be through prayer, worship, and reading the Bible.

The very first step to being able to fulfill our purpose is to accept and love who He has made us to be. How could our purposes be fulfilled if we are supposed to walk in love but yet we don't even love ourselves?

God made us the way we are on purpose, it wasn't a mistake. We are His beloved, and He is ours. God loves us no matter what!!
