If
you were to enjoy being the person God planned you to be…would your life
look like it does now? Would you anticipate each day with God's new
mercies & be able to release mistakes from the the former day? Would
you rest in the truth that His love completes & approves all of
you-even the parts you don't like? Would you carry out the desires God
put in your heart without regard to what others might
say? Would you speak up for what you believe in...feel less pressure to
conform & not fear the disapproval of others? Would you be less
judgmental of others, if you believed God was less judgmental of you?
Would you hear Jesus whisper to you throughout the day that you've got
what it takes-that He loved you before you were born? Would you laugh
more, sleep better & grind your teeth less at night if...you enjoyed
being the person God planned you to be? God chose you... you're not a
mistake, an after thought or an ooops…you were chosen by God-you're a
purposed part of His Kingdom plan, every second & step has been
ordered. You have a unique fingerprint-it's your trademark & seal of
approval that sets you apart to being the person God's you to be. No
person can eliminate or take the spot God planned for you- other than
you...you forfeit your place & plan when you opt out of believing
God's truth. Every day you can ask Jesus to search your heart & see
if there's anything in it that opposes God's Word-He will tell you, but
when He does, you must decide if you will listen & take action. If
you're not being the person God planned you to be…do you know why? If
not, ask Jesus...He will tell you. (Lam 3:23, Col 2:10, Eph 2:10, Gal
1:10, 1 Pet 5:7, Ps 139:13-15, 1 Jn 4:16-19, Ps 139:23-24)

Shining God's truth across the world (Mt 5:16). When we lay down who we think we should be...we make room to become who God says we can be-His masterpiece to do the good works He planned long ago (Eph 2:10).
