God made me to be me!
God made me to be me, not somebody else. God doesn’t want me to be you. God doesn’t want you to be me – or somebody else.
When you get to heaven, God isn’t going to say, “Why weren’t you more like your mother? Why couldn’t you be more like your older sister?” He’s going to say, “Why couldn’t you be more like you. I made you to be you!”
And when you get to heaven, God is not going to say, “Were you popular?” God is not going to say, “Did you keep everybody happy?” God is not going to say, “Did you get through life without ruffling anybody’s feathers?” God is not going to say, “Did you become what others want you to be?”
He’s not going to say that! He’s going to say, “Did you become what I created you to be? Or did you go off and live your life for what your daddy wanted, or your boyfriend wanted, or somebody else wanted?”
The Bible says, “Don’t let the world squeeze you into its own mold … (That’s people pleasing.) … but let God remold your minds from within … (That’s learning these truths that will set you free) … so that you may prove in practice that the plan of God for you is good …” (Romans 12:2) Underline: “The plan of God for you is good.”
God’s plan for your life is good. Other people’s plans for your life … who knows? Who cares? God didn’t put you on this planet to fulfill the plans of somebody else. God put you here to fulfill His plan … and His plans for you … are always … good.
