How Should We View Ourselves?
God doesn’t want a bunch of clones. You should not let people make
you feel badly about yourself because you don’t fit their image of who
you should be. You were created to be you. You were not created to
mimic somebody else. If God had wanted you to look like a perfect
model or have a different personality, He would have made you that
way. When you go around trying to be like somebody else, not only
does it demean you; it steals your uniqueness.
An important factor in seeing yourself God’s way is to understand
your intrinsic sense of value. Your sense of value cannot be based
on your successes or failures, how your friends treat you, or how
popular you are. It is not something we earn; indeed, we cannot
earn it. God built value into us when He created us. As His unique
creation, you have something to offer this world that nobody else
has, that nobody else can be. Your sense of value should be based
solely on the fact that you are a child of the Most High God.
Quiet yourself and receive God’s Word: “We are God’s workmanship”
(Ephesians 2:10). The word workmanship implies that you are a “work
in progress”. God is continually shaping us into the people He wants
us to be.
Be an original, not a copycat. Be secure in who God made you to be
and then go out and be the best person that you can be. Even if
everybody else rejects you, remember, God stands before you with
His arms open wide.
IF YOU RUN THE RACE AND BE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN BE, THEN YOU CAN
FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF.

Do your best, bring out the best in others,
Don't tell the Lord how big the problem is,
tell the problem how Great the Lord is!
Put God first, be happy at last!
