He Created Me To Be Me
For years, I wanted to be someone else. Anyone else. Someone prettier. Someone smarter. Someone more talented. I wanted to be anybody but me.
I couldn’t wish, beg or plead myself into being a different person. I didn’t have a magic wand to transform myself into someone else. The only person I could be is me.
I compared myself to others. It wasn’t the models in the magazines that tripped me up. Instead it was the people who seemed to have it altogether. They looked just right. They said the right things at the right time. Everything they did turned to gold. And I am just not like that.
I worried and fretted, trying to be like them, only to fall flat on my face. I could follow the same steps they took and still fail. Things just didn’t come as easily for me.
Over the years, I have learned a valuable lesson. God didn’t create me to be someone else. He created me to be me.
He created me just the way I am–with my brown hair streaked with gray, to be my height, to have my talents and even my personality.
If He wanted me to be someone else, that’s who He would have created me to be, but He created me to be me.
He has a purpose for my life and for my specific talents, just as He does for yours. He has a reason why I was born at this particular time in this particular place.
The only person you have to be is you. The only person you have to be like is God. If you will let Him, He will teach you how to be all He created you to be. And that’s all you ever have to be.
