Pretending to be someone we're not prevents us from seeing the change we need.
If we are to believe that God has created us then we must also believe that He didn't make a mistake in our design. I don't mean to say that we don't need to learn to change and grow, but we must learn to become confident in who we are. How cliché, right? Just be who you are. But sometimes it's the clichés that hit us the hardest.
We all want to be something more, something different. If only I could pull off that latest style. If only I could play guitar. If only I could land that internship. And who can blame us, really? The abundance of self-help books, advertisements, and just about anything else out there on the streets points us to look at our inadequacies but fails to give us a solution.
But have hope - for we are not to be measured by the world's standards. Jesus came so we may have life and have it abundantly. (John 10:10)
