You were not made to be a clone or a replica or a version of what God's already done. You were made to be only you, with all the limitations and triumphs contained within that. Don't be the next anybody. Be deeply, weirdly, completely, totally you.(Shauna Niequist)
I always tried to be like some one else. I thought if I could be this person or that person. I would often try to copy little things people did. I never thought about being me, just who I was. I am not sure why.
Until I knew God was not mean or angry, I did not know myself. I did not understand I was of worth and valued.
This has been a journey for me. As I read this lady's amazing article (http://www.shaunaniequist.com) I realised I have still not 'arrived' but as I have come to know God more and more, I am treating myself with respect and dignity in a way I never did before. As I know Him more, I believe what He says about me.
God designed humanity, it is hard to
believe, but He designed us
uniquely and He wants us to be
ourselves .....not someone else!
God is a creative Designer, He
values beauty. Look at the fun, creative photos .....BE YOU!
