Jeremiah 1:5 “Before
I formed
thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I
sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
If the face you always show the world is a mask, someday there will be nothing beneath it. When you spend too much time concentrating on everyone else’s opinion of you, or try to be who everyone else wants you to be, you eventually forget who you really are. God didn't make you a copycat. He made you to be what He called you to be just like Jeremiah.
-Don’t fear the judgments of others.
You know in your heart who you are and what’s true to you. Sure, being yourself sometimes is boring, but trying to be something else will utterly destroy you in the long run. I've seen to many Christians fall or fail because they tried to be somebody more important than they were. Don't let what other people say or think stop you from being yourself. They are not your judge-God is.
-You don’t have to be perfect to impress and inspire people.
Everybody has flaws and you know yours better than anybody else. You can't hide them because they will eventually come out. If you are being real with yourself and others you understand that perfection is only a perception. We are to strive to be holy and live as close to God as we can, but we do that because we love Him and know we don't have to impress Him. People who serve Christ with flaws testify to God's mercy and grace daily.

Let people be impressed and inspired by how you
deal with your imperfections through Jesus Christ your Lord. You don't have a license to sin, but if you do transgress you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ.
Just be real with yourself, with others, and with God. That's all that really matters!
