many times we look at others wishing we were more like them…it doesn’t matter who you might secretly desire to be, what matters most is asking yourself, “why do you want to be them“?
ask yourself that question and see what you come up with…you may find that all the things you think that other person has is not all it’s cracked up to be!
you know the old saying, the grass always looks greener on the other side? well, that holds true for everything…think for a moment, do you really know what they’re like, OR what they’ve been through!
so HERE’S the bottom line, don’t envy another’s characteristics, outward appearance, career, etc., you get the picture?
stop looking so hard at someone else, and look inside you!! did you ever ask your Creator to show you who you are? hmmmm, there’s something to ponder! well, why don’t you do that! you may be surprised at what you see looking through His eyes!
remember, God never makes mistakes, AND He never makes things He doesn’t love…so the truth is, you were made perfect, not a thing missing or lacking…learn to love who you are, because He made you unique, there’s no one else like you, or can do what you were created to do…sooooooooo, how about it? can you learn to love YOU the way HE LOVES YOU?
go ahead, try it, you may be delighted in yourself just as He delights in you!! can you dare to see yourself beautiful, complete and perfect? sure you can…just ask Him, and remember, He’s in the business of creating masterpieces…so don’t try to be someone else when you’re a treasure made by your Master!
peace out!
