To Be or Not To Be???
"Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration—what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day. Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful! God, I'll never comprehend them! I couldn't even begin to count them—any more than I could count the sand of the sea."
~ Psalms 139:13-18 (The Message Bible)
I choose to BE. After all, I am who God says I am. Have you ever been at a cross road where you just didn't know if you should throw in the towel or if you should keep pressing on? I'm sure you probably have and if you haven't please brace yourself because such a season is inevitable. After all, there is a season for everything. So, whether you're in that struggle right now, have been there, or will pass through there one day (and I say through because I believe you will choose to press your way through in that season), as I have chosen and most importantly as Jesus has chosen; PLEASE choose to BE!
Be who God called you to be. Don't settle for less. Don't try to be something you're not. Stay focused on the prize. Yes, it's hard. It's down right difficult sometimes but do what you have to to keep your sense of who God says you are. Don't fall into what others perceive you to be or want you to be. NEVER bow down to what others think of you. Examine what they think and see if there is any truth in it, especially when it's negative, but NEVER, I repeat NEVER, bow or internalize false perceptions of who you are.
Internalize truth. Among other things that the Lord has spoken into your spirit privately, God says that you are the head and not the tail. Above and not beneath. You are the lender and not the borrower. He has not given you a spirit of fear but of LOVE, POWER and a SOUND MIND.
I say all that to say this. I know it can get hard but don't give up on who you truly are. It may not look like it to others but you know what goes on in your spirit. God put it there. You are full of potential. The enemy (spiritual, external and internal) has power but not enough power to hold you nor me down and out. Greater is God that is in you and I than the whole world against you and I.
BE ENCOURAGED and NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU and CHOOSE TO BE!!!
Let's pray...
Lord thank you for allowing us to know who we are and not letting our external or internal enemy hinder our perception of ourselves. We are who You say we are. Though it may not seem like it in the natural at this present time we know with faith that it will come into physical manifestation in due time. Until then we will walk, talk and carry ourselves according to what you have breathed into our spirit since the beginning of time. In Jesus matchless name... Amen.
