The Real You

Jennifred JonesLeave a comment

Who are you? Who are you really?

  • I am who others say I am.
  • I am who others tell me to be.
  • I am what I think others want me to be.
  • I don’t want to stand out.
  • I want to fit in.
  • I want to be different.
  • I want to be accepted for who I am.

So, who are you?

  • I am strong.
  • I am weak.
  • I want to be liked.
  • I want to be needed
  • I want fulfillment.
  • I want to have purpose.
  • I just want to make a difference.

So, who are you?

  • You didn’t make you.
  • You didn’t choose your family.
  • You didn’t decide to be born-when or where.
  • It was not fate.
  • It was not a mistake.
  • You are not a misfit.
  • You are not a mistake.

If all this is true, then who am I?

  • You are one of God’s creation.
  • He made you in his image.
  • He went about doing good.
  • He left a pattern for us to follow.
  • He said He would make us new. Brand new!
  • He specializes in rebuilding.
  • God is the original restorer.

 

 

Our Pasts

Jennifred Jones

A stopping point or a stepping stone?

Everyone has a past….most are riddled with hard times, disappointments and loss.

“Everything was trying and difficult, there is no hope of something different for me up ahead.”

OR, is the past your stepping stone to a better, different, more fulling future?

Could you become the artist of your own life…paint it into the picture of your liking…make it an original creation of your own hands… or is it up to fate, luck, somebody else or ‘circumstances beyond your control’?

A painter begins with only 3 colors…red, yellow and blue.

‘I can’t paint something unique and different with only these 3 colors!” He has come to a stopping point.

“With theses 3 colors, I can blend and mix and match into a zillion new colors never seen before!!!” He has come to a stepping stone.

Move from, “I only have…” to “with what I have I can…” and watch what will come out of it.

Our past does not mean a dead-end to our future, it is only a jumping point to a brand new beginning, and another beginning, and another…

It’s fun to jump off the diving board into fresh new waters, into a new experience, a whole new life.

Where do you need to step, jump or dive into your new you, your new future? …and when you come out of the water, you’ll be a fresh, clean, brand new person… ready to begin again!

1, 2, 3….JUMP!
