Definition: a statement expressing the essential nature of something: a product of defining.
The verb of the word definition is to define: to determine or identify the essential qualities or meaning of.
How do you define yourself? What measuring stick are you using? The worlds? Your partners? Your circumstances? Your title? Your bank account? Your body weight? It can be anything you use as a comparison, whether for the good or the bad.
I’m am worthless. I am lazy and or fat. I don’t have enough money. I’m a bargain shop. I am too sick. I am too scared. I’ve always been stupid. I can’t seem to get anything right. I’m never going to be what I dream of because I believe I am nothing but a continuation of mistakes. I will never be worthy.
I’m a fat cat. I drive a fancy car. I have a prestigious title. I wear beautiful clothes and lots of jewels. I make a lot of money. I am better than everyone; just look at me. I have everything I want because I care about no one but me. I don’t make mistakes. I am more than worthy.
Both of these scenarios are incorrect!!! Because our circumstances don’t define us, they are but where we are at the present moment. Those on the bottom have nowhere to go but up, and often, those at the top have nowhere to go but down.
The people of the world and we can have ideas and opinions of ourselves, and, should, but these also need to be real. I am not my mistakes. I am not my pedestal. I am a human being. I have the same inner workings as my neighbor. My blood is the same color as every other human in this world. I carry the same luggage as the next man; it might just be a different size or color.
I Am A Child of God!!!
Ephesians 2:10 ESV “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them”
2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV “ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.”
So, the next time you judge yourself a bit harshly or someone passes judgment on you without looking in the mirror first. Remember who you are and who you belong to and what God has to say about you.
Psalms 139:14 ESV “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it well.”
You are wonderful. Seek his will for any changes you wish to make but remember it’s God’s view you need to see, not man’s or often even yours.
Have a blessed day, be a blessing and as always Thank you for joining me.🥰
