Be Yourself

Writer's picture: Jill Jarrell NewsomeJill Jarrell Newsome

Be you! I am amazed at the number of adults who want to be like someone else. I think a lot of this comes from social media where things are not as they look, most of the time. You were not given their personality or their gifts. God gave you all that you need to do what He wants you to do. He does not make mistakes. Don't say negative things about yourself. Psalm 139: 14, "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well."


God made just one you and that made you very special. He has things for YOU to do. God's grace is enough! You don't need other people to affirm you. There will be those who do not approve of you, recognize your gifts and will not celebrate you and that is ok because we have God and that is where our affirmation comes from! People are not our provider, God is our Provider. If God brought it, He will give us what we need. We need to know who and Whose we are! Jeremiah 29: 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." Be who God created you to be! Be original!

“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” St Catherine of Siena
