Be Yourself

Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

What kind of self-image do you present to the world? When you are with other people, are you the same person you were before you left home, or do you become a person who falls in with everyone else? Be comfortable with your true self, especially in the company of other people. Don’t you know that you have a particular part of God’s personality that comes through you only when you are true to being yourself? That’s the ticket to creating genuine relationships. You be you, and you let others be themselves – not copycats of each other. The variety of God’s character through us makes life interesting, colorful, and adventurous. That’s the creative nature of God, and you are His creation.    
A sheer masterpiece – that’s what you are! Don’t camouflage. Be yourself!
