Remember high school? I mean we were growing up and learning something about our identity. We may have shadowed our self in the light of someone who was called popular so we could at least say that they were friends with the who’s who. That may have been normal in high school for I did make some bad choices in those days. Now that we are past High School do we still try to do the same thing; but in a little different way? Magazines glamorize the beautiful people so we try to look like them. We know that they have problems and most cannot stay married very long to the same partner. There was a man I once knew who was up in age who began to work out with one of those amazing gadgets that make you look like superman in just a few days. Well, this man gave it all he had and you know what? He hurt his back and was in much pain. I went by to see him to see how he was. While I was there I asked him what he had in mind, if he thought he was young again? I then asked him if he got that build he was working toward did he plan to ride by the nursing home to impress the women that were there. We try too many times to impress others by the car we drive, the home we live in and all the toys we have. There is nothing wrong with having nice things as long as the nice things don’t have you. We must focus on who we are in God and allow Him to establish our identity. Remember no matter how high we climb this world’s ladder, there will always be someone richer, prettier, nicer, and more talented than you. God thinks you are the greatest!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, (Who’s in the world? You are) that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever(That’s you) believeth in him should not perish, (to waste away) but have everlasting life.(continuing indefinitely) You are someone special to our heavenly Father and all you have to be is yourself.
