Embrace Who You Were Created To Be

The bible talks about how God has given us the power to enjoy what is allotted and appointed to us. I don’t have the power to enjoy your life and you don’t have the power to enjoy mine. Someone may have more success, more money, more friends or a better job but if you were put in their life, believe it or not, you’re not going to enjoy it like they do. We are uniquely designed to run our own race and the experiences, both good and bad are intended specifically to fit your journey.

Once we truly understand and embrace this we won’t be tempted to compare or wish we had what someone else has. You won’t think, “If only I had their talent...” No, if God wanted you to have that talent He would have given it to you. Instead, take what you have and develop it. Make the most of it. Don’t think, “If only I had her looks...” No, God gave you your looks. That’s not an accident. The life you have has been perfectly matched for you.

Now, as it often is in life you’ve got to do your part. You have to get excited about your life. The bible says that Jesus came not just to give you life but that so you could, “have AND ENJOY your life.” Be excited about who you are! Your looks, your talent, your ability, your personality. If something needs changing, like a bad habit or wrong mindset then do so but the basic YOU was designed by God and you need to embrace, develop and celebrate it.

Today I want to encourage you to choose to put your trust and hope in God. Know that He has equipped you for the awesome calling that was specifically and carefully planned out by the Creator of the universe. When you’re passionate about who you are it brings honor to God. That’s when God will breathe in your direction and the seeds of greatness in you will take root and begin to flourish!
