- Who are you?
- We can never do all God's calling us to do if we don't know who we are.
- Mary Anne Williamson said, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- If we don't know who we really are in Christ our lights can never really shine the way God wants them to.
- Who am I?
- I am a woman.
- I am a nursing student.
- I am a daughter.
- I am a granddaughter.
- I am a sister.
- I am a niece.
- ... (and on and on and on).
- Who are you?
- We can hide behind our lists of things we are and we can make that be our security and identity, if we want.
- But if the list was taken away, who would we really be deep down on the inside?
- What we do is not really who we are. But, who we are affects what we do.
- What describes you?
- Is it your character or is it your accomplishments?
1. I am (you are) strong.
- Strong means capable of withstanding force or wear; strong is solid, tough, firm.
- Strength means impowered to withstrain strain or stress.
- God made us strong.
- Be strong, because God put His strength in us.
This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
- Be strong, because we have the support of Jesus Christ in us.
- God has promised to never leave or forsake us.
- Our strength is found in Christ and in Him alone; no other place can we find real strength.
- We can't schedule when bad things will happen so we have to be strong in Him so we can face whatever may come our way.
- We (you) can mandle more then we (you) think!!
- Mother Teresa said, "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much."
- The joy of the Lord is our strength!
- We have to be tough!
- We have to know how to fight!
- Nothing can complete us, we are only complete in Christ.
- God is not the reflection of our earthly father's; but the perfection of the father.
She is worth far more than rubies.
- We are God's bling!!
- We mean so much to Him that He laid down His own life for us!
- We don't need to be like anybody else.
- We are God's masterpieces.
- We are one of a kind.
- We are different, and that's the beauty of it all.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
- We have to embrace what God has given us, and do the best with what we have.
- He created us all different for a purpose, for our own designed master plan!
- Don't look to everybody else, wishing we had what they have.
- God made us the way He wanted us to be!
- We are perfect in God's sight!
- God makes us beautiful in our own way!!!
- Never never never look to Hollywood trying to figure out what we should look like.
Never never never compare yourself!!
When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.
- We will never win in the comparison game!
- Be comfortable in how God created you, be comfortable in your own skin.
- It's a huge lie when we believe: "if {fill in the blank} then I will be good enough"
- We are never going to be good enough, but God made us enough through Jesus.
- We are enough in Him!
- Nothing we do will ever make us good enough!!
- God has mafe us enough, we don't have to do anything else!
- You are enough in Christ!
- "It's not who we are that holds us back, but it's who we think we're not." - Author unknown.
- Let your light shine so bright that others lights shine around you!
