Wonderful You

Keep me from lying to myself;
    give me the privilege of knowing your instructions. Psalms 119:29 (NLT)

It is time to be true to one's self. In this era of scripted reality television and social media, where you can be whomever you desire to pretend to be, It comes a time when you must stop lying to yourself and simply be you. My role in life have me counsel many people and I dare say ninety-nine percent of them lie and pretend for months, even years before they just confess or admit what really is the truth of the matter. I often say "be free" and others ask me "what does that really mean?" Or "what are you really saying?" When my response to you is simply "Be Free" it simply means what it says! I am not being "deep" or speaking in mysteries. I want you to set yourself free from the lies and deception you tell yourself. Be free from lying just to impress others, who by the way, will never be impressed!! Be free from imitating others than Jesus Christ, hoping to obtain some glory or even their glory. Do not be sucked into this system where you are simply an airbrushed image of yourself, acting how you think people want you to act in public, while lying to yourself. Read the bible and find out what God thinks of you. The wonderful things He says about you! He sees you as you are and He says, "My dove, my perfect one, Is the only one,..." (Song of Solomon 6:9)
Or He says, "...He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” (Zephaniah 3:17) "For thus saith the Lord of hosts; ...for he that touches you touches the apple of his eye!" (Zechariah 2:8)

I don't need to pretend how great I am! I do not feel the need to impress others! Why? Because I KNOW I am great!! God already told me! I am royalty, a King's daughter! God knows all about me and He said He would STILL choose me!! (Song of Solomon 6:8-9) I am wonderfully made! (Psalms 139:14) Learn what God thinks of you and you will never lie about or to yourself again! The true you is so awesome that others will look at you and marvel!! God's word says, "You are a WONDER to many!" (Psalms 71:7) Be Free to be You! You are an awesome sight to behold! God Bless You!

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. (Psalms 139:13-14)
