THE REAL YOU

in steemchurch •  7 years ago 

Most times as Humans, we tend to define our life by what people tell us, how people define us and we accept their description of us. As a Christian, it is important that you see yourself the way God sees you. the way the Word describes you, and not the way others see you or the way you see yourself. Sometimes you may look at yourself and say "I don't think I'm what God say I am". But that's because you're focusing on the wrong information. Take the focus off yourself and focus on his Word.

........."for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say. The Lord is my helper, and i will not fear what man shall do unto me. Heb 13:5-6


Now most believers don't really know who they are in Christ, it's sad because if you study the Word of God this should not be you. 1Peter 2:9 NLT tells us what God thinks about us;

But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.


Its clear from that verse who we are and what God wants us to do. We're his trophies, on display for the world to see. God wants to boost of us, he wants to display his perfection, his beauty through us. When men see us, they see God in us, they see his beauty and glory radiating in our live. This is Gods plan for you.

Never think for a second that God doesn't care about you, he does. He wants to shine through you. He wants his glory to be expressed through you.

"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass of the lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the spirit of the lord".

You may have been born poor but that is not the real image of you. God didn't bring you to planet earth to be poor. You may not have a job now and it seems the world is gaining on you; change your focus, focus on what God has said.
The more you look at the Word Of God, the more you know who you are. The Word of God mirrors your real image. So all you have to do is study the Word of God and affirm it for yourself and see yourself bask in his glory and beauty for your live.
