CELEBRATE WHO YOU ARE

May 14, 2014

Some of us feel insecure and inadequate because we pay too much attention to what others are doing, what they are wearing, where they are going, what they are driving, where they are living, etc. As a result of this, they keep beating themselves up and trying to change who they are instead of celebrating their uniqueness and focusing on their own goals.

I have discovered that people who are always competing with others are always struggling in life. One of the most frustrating thing in life is trying to get what another has or trying to become what another person is. God did not create anyone to compete with his/her fellow man. You are made in such a unique way by God so that your journey towards fulfilling destiny might be sweet, interesting and enjoyable.

There would always be someone with a finer body figure, someone richer than you, someone with a nicer car or someone with a better job, it is not your job to start competing with them, your job is to compete with yourself. I do say it that, “It is your race, and not our race.” On the day of judgment, God will not assess you based on what your friends or colleagues did or have, He would access you based on what He has asked you to do.

Jer 1:5 says, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee.” God knew you were going to be shorter than your best friend, stop discomforting yourself by wearing dangerous high heeled shoes. God knew you were going to come out darker than me, stop trying to bleach out your uniqueness, celebrate it. Celebrate who you are because you are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are not just anybody, you are a perfect and well-made handiwork of God.

A fish would never dare compete with an eagle because she celebrates her uniqueness. Until you start celebrating who you are, you will never be focused enough to become who God has created you to be.
