God, Show Me ME

God, please show me ME! That's been my prayer for a while now.

I know what I want to do, I know how I want to be seen, I know the plans that I have for myself... But I always come back to what God was thinking when He created me. I want to match His initial plan as much as I can.

And, the Lord, in His Sovereignty, has shown me aspects of myself that do not match the current version. And with each revelation, I have the choice to align myself to His will. Some things have been easier than others. More time in the Word? I can do that! Others have been more difficult. Oh, I have to actually put myself out there like that? Let me think about it for a few...

God has shown me some really cool places that He wants me to go in life. I have been amazed at where He wants to take me. Again, I have the choice to stay committed to the Lord's leading to get me where He wants me to go.

Have you ever asked God to show you what He was thinking when He made you? If you haven't, I highly recommend it. I know we're not supposed to think more highly of ourselves than we ought (Romans 12:3). But, sometimes I feel like we don't think high enough of ourselves in the first place.

The Bible says you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. He chose and crowned you with purpose. Wouldn't you like to your life to match the plans God had when He created you?

Get before God and allow Him to lead you in the direction that He wants you to go. Some things will be easy, others will require more of your faith. But they all will add up to you being and living better than you ever could have on your own.

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people;

that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you

out of darkness into his marvellous light.

1 Peter 2:9
