THE REAL YOU

Ephesians 1:6 NKJV to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

I read this quote the other day. “Don’t change so that people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you. So who is the ‘real’ you? Well God’s word tells us, just in case we forget.😊

We are who God says we are and although we don’t always behave like it or feel like it, nevertheless that is the ‘real’ you, the born again you. You are not the old you anymore.

You are the apple of God’s eye, His masterpiece, anointed by God to do every good thing He has prepared for you to do. You are washed in the blood of the Lamb, so you are spotless in His sight. He says you are above only and not beneath, you are blessed going out and blessed coming in. You have the mind of Christ and all wisdom is available to you.

He has given you His Holy Spirit, gifted you with the unique talents He put in you from before you were born, some of which you are still to discover. You are precious in God’s sight because you trust in His Son, the Lord Jesus, and you are blessed to be a blessing.

So next time you worry about whether people like you, or accept you or not, just remember that your Heavenly Father loves and accepts you in His beloved Son Jesus and that is all that matters. And as He’s always reminding us, we are children of the Most High God, being changed from glory to glory. So don’t be discouraged, because we’re all still on the potter’s wheel.😊

Most of all let’s keep remembering we are deeply loved by God, highly favoured and greatly blessed.

Thank You Lord we are who You say we are, and for Your great mercy and loving kindness to each and every one of us, every day. In Jesus name. Amen.
