It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. So often in our lives we find ourselves trying so very hard to make everyone accept us. We change our appearances to feel accepted. We alter the way we dress to be accepted. We hang with certain people to be accepted. Have you ever wondered why we change who we are to be accepted by others, but no one changes who they are to be accepted by us? Why are we always disguising ourselves as something we are not? Do you realize God made you to be different than the people around you? It was not His intentions for you to be exactly like the person next to you. Understand, when you try to be like someone else you become a cheap copy.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My friend, Love The Person You Are! Stop trying to be someone God said you are not. Who you are is a blessing to the people God placed around you. Each and every day God sends people into your life so that you may be a blessing to them. If you continue to alter the person you are, when do you have the time to bless other people for the glory of God? The Bible declares in 1 Corinthians 10:31 – Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Child of God, please never forget all that we do is for the glory of our God. It is not about us. It is not about trophies, man’s accolades, or how many people recognize you in the mall. This is all about the Lord Jesus Christ.
My brother, my sister, who are you trying to be like? Are you trying to make changes to the person God ordained for you to be? Why are you making alterations to yourself? Beloved, Love The Person You Are! Stop letting people’s comments make you want to be someone you are not. When you look in the mirror, love the person you see. The Bible declares in Genesis 1:27 – So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. From this day forward, if you desire to become something else, try becoming more like Christ. Prayer for Today: Father, help me to love the person You made me to be. In the name of Jesus … Amen!
