Being You (Part 2)

Being You (Part 2)

Romans 8:18 "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

When you are content to simply be yourself, without comparing and competing to impress others, everyone worthwhile will respect you.  And even more importantly, you will respect yourself. Why are you letting others define you?  What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

Truth be told, God said no one has the right to judge you.  People may have heard your stories, and they may think they know you, but they can’t feel what you are going through; they aren’t living YOUR life.  So forget what they think and say about you.  Focus on how you feel about yourself, and keep walking the path that feels best under your feet as God leads the way.

Those who accept you are your friends.  Those who don’t are your teachers.  If someone calls you something and it’s true, it’s not your problem because it’s true.  If someone calls you something and it’s not true, it’s not your problem because it’s not true.  Either way, whatever they call you is not your problem. 

What other people call you is their problem. What you call yourself, and who you decide to become, is your problem. Just don't stop being you to please other people. Please God first and all His blessings will be added unto you.
