BE YOU!!:)

"When you are content to be simply yourself and compare or compete, everybody will respect you."-Lao Tzu

Romans chptr 14(whole chptr)

So often we get broken down emotionally because we compare ourselves to others. We either do the comparing ourselves, or let others' judgements of us truly hurt us. In reality, God created you exactly the way that he wanted and needed you to be. You should rejoice in the fact that you get to be you and don't worry about what anyone else is doing or thinking. We are all going to be judged one day, by the one and only perfect being ever...Jesus Christ. Therefore, simply worry about impressing God, making God happy with you, and doing right by him. People notice when everything you do or say is said or done in competition and no one truly likes it. Stop being concerned with "keeping up with the Joneses" or being ahead of someone else or whatever your personal weakness is, (we all have one)...just worry about what YOU are doing, what YOU have done to please God today and that is it. And don't ever let someone else convince you that who you are isn't enough because you are not like them, or how they believe you should be. God made you to be you and them to be them...he makes no mistakes...so today, I encourage you....SIMPLY BE YOU!!!:)
