Be Yourself

It is easy to fall into a trap of trying to live up to 

Society’s standards. We try to look good for other 

people. We play at popularity games and try to 

impress others with our position and prestige. 

This is sad, because who we should really be trying 

to please is God. He has created each of us with 

special gifts and talents, and it is His will that we 

do nothing more than live up to the potential He created 

for us. We don’t have to try to be something we’re not 

with God. He knows us better than we know ourselves. 

What is important for us to do is find out who we really 

are and try to remain true to that identity.  God loves 

us just as we are, and as long as we believe that God 

knows what He is doing, we can be satisfied with 

ourselves as He created us.
