THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

FULLY EMBRACE YOUR IDENTITY AS GOD CREATED YOU

I came across a nurse’s report detailing her experiences with terminally ill patients. She inquired about the greatest REGRETS of hundreds of patients during their final twelve weeks of life. The most common regret was not living AUTHENTICALLY but rather according to others’ EXPECTATIONS.

Many people today are not living true to their AUTHENTIC selves, often out of fear of disappointing OTHERS. They worry about losing FAVOR or not being ACCEPTED by a group. With respect, one cannot live SOLELY to fulfill the expectations of parents, bosses, or friends. It’s CRUCIAL to remain true to what GOD has called you to be.

DECIDE to live WITHOUT regrets. Fully embrace YOUR identity as God CREATED you. Allow GOD to shape your character and direct your path. By ENTRUSTING your journey to HIM, His blessings will ILLUMINATE your life, leading to a fulfilling and ABUNDANT existence as He has INTENDED.

Today’s Scripture:

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Galatians 1:10, NIV
