1206 It's OK to be YOU! - Create Your Now -

When you awoke this morning, what was first comparison trap you walked into? Because you know, it’s OK to be YOU!

But do we really want to settle for who we are? Always chasing the dreams of someone else, wishing we could have their notoriety. Scrolling through the social media feed to distract us from reality.

Be honest. How did that make you feel? Ready to conquer the world. Or maybe it slowed down chasing your dream.

With all the fabulous technology, there are so many ways to get caught up in the world. Watching it pass us by instead of being center stage in the world God designed for you.

You are important. You are a VIP. A Very Important Person!!!

So why make yourself feel less? Why adopt the mindset that you don’t measure up?

I do it. Some mornings more than others, even afternoons. I can be sitting in the carpool line watching all these well-to-do mommas pick up their children, wishing I had their body type, their thick long hair, their well-portioned bodies.

And me…well that’s a different story. Thin hair that needs to be colored to cover the grays. The hips that enter the room before the smile can be seen. The thighs that are strong and mighty.

Yaaa…comparison happens. It happens to all of us.

Then what happens is you lose sight of what God has in store for you. His dreams for YOUR life.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ~ Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you…He doesn’t at all say, “I’m making you to become like ________ (who do you compare yourself to?).

Sister
A network marketing genius – someone who’s doing very well in the business you’re in.
Your best friend
A famous actor/actress
Your next door neighbor

You were created in God’s image. (Genesis 1:27)

So who are you to compare yourself to? You are the daughter of a King!

It’s OK to be YOU!

But why do we struggle so much when it comes to keeping our eyes on the side of our road?

Have you ever noticed that when you are driving, the car goes in the direction you look?

We know this. That’s why we say, “Keep your eyes on the road.”

The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep your eyes on YOUR road!

When you do that, you go in the direction God is leading.

You reverse the distraction, because you’re focused on His direction.

But you have to keep your eyes on the road.

Now how can you really do this, when ultimately you are feeling less than able.

Think about it. Go back to the carpool line. What are you telling yourself? How are you comparing?

When you start comparing, I want you to say, even out loud,

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” ~ Philippians 4:13

One of my favorite verses. In fact, I use it so much to sustain me throughout the day, that it becomes more of my motto. When I begin to question, I simply say…

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. It’s not of me, but of Him.

He conquers my day. He grants me endurance for the season. God give me strength.

The Lord is your Shepherd (Psalm 23). He will not lead you astray.

When you get stuck in the comparison trap:

Stay committed to God’s strength. Lean on Him.
Speak the truth. You can do all things through Christ.
Sustain the truth as you walk your journey. The Lord is your Shepherd.

It’s OK to be YOU!

Now is it easy? NO. Is it possible? YES.

Nothing is impossible.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!”
