Who Do You Want to Be?
Do you want to be some famous movie star or maybe you'd like to be a famous sports hero, or is it the successful guy down the street.
Who is it you really want to be? How about if you start out by just being you, the person you were created to be.
Many of us get to middle age and all of our lives we have strived to become.
Become what you say? Become what we think we are to be.
Why not just be.
Be who you are.
Accept who you were created to be and know that you have a Father in heaven that is very proud of you, who wants you to know how much he loves you and adores you.
You think, oh no, he can't love me I've done this and this and this wrong in my life.
Guess what, He knows these things about you - but superseding this He sees the real you - the one He created you to be.
He sees you not as you think you are but as He made you to be: special, precious, and so lovable in His sight.
Once you truly get this in your heart, you will melt in His love for you.
You will yield to His love and direction in your life.
You will want Him to help you see all the areas in your life that need to be handed over to Him and cleansed because He deals with you very gently.
From the beginning, God has had great plans for you - plans to give you a future and a hope.
He is completely head over heels for you.
He gets so excited if even for a minute you turn your heart toward Him to talk to Him, to sit with Him, to listen to Him.
He is longing to spend time with you if you would just take some time out of your day to see Him this way.
Turn your mind and heart from the world that keeps you wrapped up in its busyness.
Spend some time resting with your Father in heaven and see what happens.
You will be amazed at the transformation that takes place that you and others will notice.
It's here, in His very presence where we are filled with His presence, the power of Holy Spirit, and from there we can go into the World and let His presence rule and reign wherever we go.
Through you He will change atmospheres; where His light shines so brightly all darkness dissipates.
God is love; therefore if we allow ourselves to be filled with His love we can't help but touch others with His love as it spills out from us.
So, do we concentrate on who we want to be or do we just turn our hearts toward God and listen to who He says we are? He knows all - we don't - why not let Him tell you - about you!
