Different by God's Design: Living authentically as your true self

    Stop the Masquerade: Unveil the Masks

    January 9, 2018 /

       “Be yourself; everyone else is taken.” Oscar Wilde  Unveiling the Masks By continuously covering up God’s good and perfect design, we are shouting out the message; “God, your masterpiece is not good enough.” “God. You messed up when you made me!” As Christ followers I don’t think any of us would really believe that message; yet we subconsciously say it when we masquerade as something we were never meant to be, in order, to gain the appeal and approval of others.  “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.” Ephesians 2:10…

    Learning to Live Out of Our True Selves  

    January 2, 2018 /

      As I step softly into this new year many questions have already begun to occupy my mind. What keeps me from living freely out of my unique, God-created design? What paralyzes me from living out of my true, authentic self? What has me repeatedly running to others to earn validation, applause and approval? “The greatest battle we face as human beings is the battle to protect our true selves from the self the world wants us to become.” E.E. Cummings  Living Out of Our True Self:   The true self are those parts of you that are authentic, and flow from living out of the true identify you have…

    Fear of Authenticity: Listening to Wrong Messages

    December 14, 2017 /

    When we are afraid of being seen for who we really are, we create appealing façades to hide our true-selves. We learn to promote someone who is likeable, agreeable, valuable and desirable. And we cover over areas we consider to be flawed, blemished or that may be rejected.  In this process of masking we learn to deny God’s standard to live freely out of who He created us to be and we appease the standards that we think others are setting before us; leaving us vulnerable to the enemy’s attack. We often deny our true ideas or opinions We hide our real feelings and emotions for fear that we will…

    Exposed to God’s Truth: Knowing Self

    November 27, 2017 /

      The Character Quality of Knowing Self: I expectantly eyed the bathroom mirror, keenly aware that this day would not only put another candle on an elaborately iced cake, but mark off another significant decade. With anticipation for the day ahead of me, I stopped to assess my reflection. Instantly, I was met by a rather dismal birthday pronouncement. The voice in my head spoke loud and clear.  “I don’t like you!” In one quick instance, I had summed up four decades of my life. And with four short words, I had pronounced myself, lacking. Was I saying that I didn’t like how I looked? Or was I saying, that…

It’s that time of year!

The faithfulness of God.

Another day has come and gone; but God remains faithful.

Some have fought the storms of life today; but God has remained faithful. 

For some they have seen God’s faithfulness in the greatest joy, the eyes of their children, the celebration of another year.  God is faithful. 

Others grasp hold of the sure foundation of God’s faithfulness as they rehearse His goodness despite sorrow, pain, loss or grave disappointment. 

God is faithful despite our circumstances. 

Tonight I look to the clouds, the setting sun, the heavens where God dwells.

As my heart lifts skyward, I say; “ God, you are faithful and true.” 

For this moment my eyes lift heavenward away from the hardships of life, away from health issues, away from struggles, away from overwhelm. 

Great is Gods faithfulness. His love truly endures forever! Amen.
