Would you do the world a favor and
be you
because everybody else is already taken
do the world a favor and
be you the world needs you are God wouldn't have made you. If God wanted me to be somebody else
I wouldn't be here I would be them
Stop trying to be somebody else, stop letting the culture define what's beautiful
God says you're beautiful
Have you listened to God's voice and Psalms 139
13 and 14 that when you were in your mother's womb you were wonderfully and fearfully made
Have you looked in a mirror and said I'm wonderfully and fearfully made because God says or have you looked at TV images
Have you looked at magazine covers
and said, oh I'm ugly because I don't look like them, and God is going precious child you are beautiful to me.
Too many people go around feeling wrong on the inside. They don't really like who they are they focus on their faults
weaknesses, they're constantly critical toward themselves. That recording of everything
they've done wrong is always playing in their mind. You're impatient, you blew your diet yesterday,
you lost your temper. You're still struggling with that addiction. You should be ashamed of yourself
They wonder why they're not happy. It's because they have this war going on on the inside
You're not supposed to go through life feeling wrong about yourself quit focusing on your faults.
Quit over analyzing your weaknesses quit beating yourself up because you're not where you thought you would be
Here's the key you're not a finished product
God is still working on you the scripture says God changes us from Glory to Glory
You have to learn to enjoy the glory that you're in right now
You may have some weaknesses we all do there may be some areas where you know you need to improve
But being down on yourself is not going to help you do better
Having that nagging feeling telling you you don't measure up. God's not pleased with you, you'll never get it right
It's not going to help you move forward
You have to accept yourself right where you are faults and all
God is the potter we are the clay
He's the one making you and molded you it may not be happening as fast as you like
But you don't control the timetable will you trust him in the process
Will you accept yourself in the glory that you're in right now?
Don't go around
Being against yourself you may have some things wrong with you
But can I tell you you have a lot more right with you. You may have a long way to go
but if you look back
You'll see how far you've already come. Keep your flaws in perspective every person has something
they're dealing with. When you are for yourself you are in agreement with God
Some people have never once said I like myself. I like my gifts. I like my personality. I like my looks
I'm happy with who God made me to be
If you don't like yourself in a healthy way other people are not going to like you
You project what you believe on the inside
If you feel wrong about yourself you project inferiority
unfriendliness
Discontentment. I'm asking you to feel good about who you are
You may not be where you want to be but you're on the way. God is changing you from Glory to Glory
Start enjoying the glory that you're in right now. You may have some weaknesses
we all do. Don't you dare go through life against yourself. God is saying today, you are my beloved son
My beloved daughter in whom I am well pleased. Now do your part
start putting on the breastplate of God's approval each morning
If you'll do this, I believe and declare every chain that's holding you back is being broken
God is going to keep making you and molding you you're going to come up higher
overcome those obstacles
And become everything he created you to be
