It’s interesting that humankind are described as human be-ings – rather than human do-ings! And we can be many things:
*Be kind
*Be the light
*Be the change
*Be brave
*Be authentic -Be real
*Be a blessing -Be the gift
*Be yourself!
And when we are being our true, authentic selves, we can be who we were created to be!
We are truly unique & one of a kind. We have different preferences & personalities, ideas & experiences, gifts & skills, thoughts & dreams, hopes & hurts. Yet at our core we are made in God’s image, designed to reflect our Creator’s essence of grace, goodness & lovingkindness.
‘For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.’
(Ephesians 2:10 NIV)
We are God’s work of art, hand-made with love to be His poem to the world. We are uniquely different & deeply loved by the God who died to save us. So we can live as He intended by trusting in Him.
‘You can be much more for God than you ever know, by just being yourself & relying on Him. Keep praying & playing & being yourself’
(Oswald Chambers)
Step into God’s purpose for you:
‘Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.’
(Galatians 6:4-5 MSG)
We can ask God to reveal His design for our lives & who He created us to be. As we seek God through prayer, we can grow into our truest self- our God-given self.
Each day:
*Pursue beauty
*Embrace grace
*Find joy
*Shine light
*Show hope
*Share peace
In your own unique way!
As we walk with God, He will show us what He has created us to do-
with Him & for Him
In His way,
In His strength,
In His time.
