Be Yourself!

In my opinion, one of the most important aspects of enjoying your life will come from being who you are. God has not created us to be people pleasers, and seek out the approval of other people. Often times when we are seeking out the approval of others, they often won’t give it no matter how hard we try. We even can go out of our way and do things we don’t even like to do just to get someone to approve of us, or like us. Have you ever noticed that those same people will never give us what were looking for? So why keep trying? Why don’t we be ourselves, and the ones who appreciate who we are, and like us for who are, allow them to become the ones we associate with and influence us! Emotionally, this is the best thing that we can do to truly have emotional freedom, and find friends who will last a lifetime. By Being yourself, you and i should discover who God has created us to be, and be happy in pursuing that, while at the same time finding significance, purpose, confidence and contentment. Self confidence has great power, don’t underestimate it! It can make you or break you! We must learn to like who God has created us to be. Believe it or not, and i am aware that this might seem controversial to some, God wants you to like yourself. Look at the following scripture:

Mark 12:31
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

Allow me to ask you a question? Would you or God want you to love you neighbor the way that you love yourself?

Some of us don’t like who we are, and through Christ, that can change!

What we need to do is learn to like who we are, accept who we are, and receive God’s unconditional love for us.
