How many of us have already met at times of being a thousand people in one? We constantly get the wrong idea that we need to reproduce a behavior, a way of thinking or even talking so that people accept us.
We live in a world with the mentality that, if we do not fit, we will be excluded!
Due to this affirmation, many women face very serious problems with issues related to envy, lack of satisfaction, jealousy, unrealistic expectations ... Really? All of us have our daily pressures that try to impel us to be and do through what others want from us. But how have we reacted to such an imposition?
In these times we have been invaded all over the world, so that we are like ..., or continue to ... Inviting us incessantly to be imitators of singers, actresses, actors, athletes, politicians, models, society people, etc. The media invites us to be to live and behave like these characters that are in fashion, causing many people to cast their own identity aside, to try to be who they really are not; trying to live the lives of others
Wanting to belong to a social group.
It is not like this? smile or people will think you are bored, you will talk less or you will think they talk too much, they will say what they want or they will not listen to you! It's complicated! Result? Women with difficulties to maintain their identity! Because they are always molding it in a way that pleases man.
Romans 12: 2. And do not adapt to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may verify what is the will of God: what is good, acceptable and perfect.
Most young people today are so confused and have no idea who they are. Most women want to be and live as such ... The fashionable girl of the moment. Many have surrendered without power and without having to undergo surgeries that invite them every day to be "perfect girls", they dress with clothes that; although they do not fit well; they are fashionable ... Men, women, young people and children are distracted looking for each week who they want to look like, psychologists call this "identity crisis" ... The truth is that this is terrible; It seems silly, but it is more serious than we imagined, our identity is stolen every day by the pressure of the world and its empty and changing interests that are week after week an offer of fraud for the human beings who buy this cheap mold and easy to break This; without going into details about the confusion of sexual identity ... These patterns externally give a message of happiness; but only God knows the existential spiritual void that these people are living.
We like to look like others to be accepted! We do not want to be excluded, different and mainly separated! That's when we find a big misconception! Because the Lord invites his daughters to separate! And separated means SAINTS!
In Hebrews 10: 10 it says; "In that we shall be sanctified by the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ once made."
Why do we struggle so hard to please people if the Lord calls us to separate? Why do we get carried away by the idea that I need to mold myself to be accepted when it has accepted me? Why do we allow a bit of the identity of each person we live with if he has completely changed my identity?
Identity in Christ.
We have to understand that the only way to be emotionally healthy is when we allow ourselves to be modeled by God! We must have the character of the father! And ready!
Luke 19:10 "For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
That is why we must be careful not to add people who are not in the same vision as ours to our list of friends! Otherwise, we run the risk of accepting their ideologies to remain in the same environment.
Do not be fooled: `` Bad company corrupts good manners. "
As daughters and heirs our identity is Jesus! We do not need to copy a behavior, a fad or a language to be accepted by anyone, because our goal is to be accepted in heaven! That should be our biggest concern!
Jesus will never be loved by the world, so why do we care to be loved for this world? In His Kingdom He is loved, mighty King, mighty and victorious! Why then will we be content to be loved by this lower world and can we be accepted by the one true Kingdom?
God has filled you with qualities enough to be influential even if you are separated from all! You do not have to be accepted to exert influence! He who has granted divine purposes even though you are different from all! But it will depend on you if you fill in that way! Your value is a result of the way you see yourself! So do not let your identity be defined from other people's opinions!
Our identity, should not leave according to society, or according to our parents, according to what they will say, according to the show, or according to a religion, the true and greatest identity of a person must come out of what God said and says of she or he, and this is achieved through a beautiful communion with his son Jesus Christ.
