The Real You
I posted this on facebook yesterday:
Remember that there’s power in vulnerability. When you empty yourself out, God can fill you. But if you’re full of yourself—acting, pretending, keeping up your image—there’s no room for God. If you’ll humble yourself and get real, God will help you to grow.
"Don't let what somebody did to you or say to you ruin your life. Those people are out living their life, you should do the same but keep your distance. Always be true to YOU, always love YOU and do what is best for YOU. If you need help figuring it out, start by listening to positive words, go on youtube and listen to TD Jakes, Joel Osteen. Sign up for daily devotionals from Joel Osteen and The Life daily devotionals. Start listening to meditations while you sleep. Fill your timelines and instagrams with positivity and unfollow the garbage. Take care of YOU don't worry about who is out here doing what thinking you might miss out on something. I'm tellin you life is way too short to be letting the words or actions of another slow you down and get you down. Life is definitely too short to be anything but the true, authentic YOU. Let today be the day you start to make positive changes for your life and watch what happens."
I posted this because my daughter is having a real hard time letting go of Jeremy abandoning her. Then I receive this message from Today's Word with Joel & Victoria this morning:
The Real You
We live in a society that stresses image. It’s easy to go through life trying to impress people, to show them that we’re strong, that we have it all together. It’s good to carry ourselves with confidence, but sometimes we have such a need to keep up our image that we put on a mask and start pretending. We can’t let someone see that we have weaknesses, that we’re struggling in areas, and we don’t have all the answers. But the Scripture says that if we go around wearing masks, God’s power is not going to show up. God won’t bless the ideal you, the pretend you, the future you; He’s looking for the real you.Remember that there’s power in vulnerability. When you empty yourself out, God can fill you. But if you’re full of yourself—acting, pretending, keeping up your image—there’s no room for God. If you’ll humble yourself and get real, God will help you to grow.
