Becoming YOU!!!

We all tend to think that we are the Real us, but if you take the time to sit back and really think about it, you are not being your true self 95% of the time. Let me tell you why because what we call sympathy and compassion towards others is really compromised & fear of what people will say about you. But remember God made you in his image, Beautifully and wonderfully made of his image; even who you are God put that in you. The world better yet the enemy will take the things God put in you for good and to help build the Kingdom of God and make it out to be as if you have no heart or insensitive. You will get people saying, 'oh you need to watch what you say,' 'it's not what you said, but how you said it,' 'think about what you say,' 'you don't care about anyone feelings,' etc. I think you get the point. Listen all those are what the enemy is using to bring condemnation to yourself when you know what God said. Here is what that is really saying, 'I don't want to hear the truth,' 'turn your light off,' 'It's all about me,' or ' I am just comfortable with who you use to be.' See when you start Becoming who God created you to be the enemy will try to fight you with words especially when you no longer allow for people to mishandle you or be around you for their benefit or convenience. You start holding them accountable for their actions and you start standing on the standards you have for those in your life. You start setting Healthy boundaries and not budging on those boundaries to protect your Peace and your family Peace. You start no longer caring what people say about you whether to you or behind your back. You start being focused on you and no longer on them, but this is what it takes when you are Becoming the You God created you to be. 2 Tim. 4:5 (Passion translation) states, " To be Alert and Overcome every form of evil...." When you are Becoming You, it won't be an easy walk in the park you have to know you are an Overcomer and it is who God called you to be.

It is okay to have moments. I have moments I just don't get stuck in them moments anymore to whether it stirs my focus. I still show up and give the greatness that is within me. When you are Becoming You guess what you will have moments just allow for them to be processed the way God intended them to Process. It will feel as if you are fighting your flesh, but remember in Ephesians 6:12 states, " We wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with the principalities and darkness of this world.

My advice to You that is struggling with Becoming you because of man opinion or demand put on you. One make up your mind whether you want to Become the you that God created you to be or conform to the worlds opinion of you. Two when you start Becoming You be that unapologetically. Three start walking towards that person because you can't get to the next level unless you are who you were created to be.

Lastly I will say this you can't put new wine into old wine skin.

Be blessed,
