I look around at a world that I just don’t understand. They try so hard to imitate each other. Good or bad. Sadly I have been there. Last night one of my friends ask me, “Darlene how are you doing?” I simply replied….”you know the feeling you get when you feel like the odd girl out. Just not good enough to be part of the crowd…..well that is where I am right now.” Trust you me not a good placed to be. I have somehow manage people to steal my spirit, my joy, I have started to desolate myself from everyone. I use to be vibrant, laughing and joking, proud to be who I was….but somehow I have seen myself through their eyes and have began to not like me….. 🙁
Well not anymore. I am uniquely designed. One of a kind. I have ask the Lord to give me a backbone……if people want me to change not gone to happen…If God wants me too…that’s a whole different story. I have been asking God to help me overlook hurtful things people say to me….They don’t have to like everything I am…what I do, how I act, how I talk, because God designed me and he designed me for his purpose not theirs.
So this new me might be too much for some….but I am sick and tired of allowing the devil to beat me down….I am a masterpiece in God’s eyes. I have a few chips, a few cracks, and scraps but that is what make me unique, that’s what makes me ….ME!!!!
1 Samuel 16:7 says “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart!!” So world watch out I am a new creature, a new woman, with new ways, with new words, with a new spark. I am a woman who has been graced from my Father in heaven to have a new beginning and a new way to look at me!!!!
Dear God,
I know I have allowed so many things to hinder me…and that is my fault. I shouldn’t have let the enemy get into m head, and for that I ask for forgiveness. I pray tonight for the ones that feel this way in this horrible world. I pray that they too come to you for their image lift … that they realize too they are a masterpiece. I also pray for the people who are negative all the time….constantly criticizing people and not knowing the damage they are doing. I pray that they realize that you made all kinds of different designs, different masterpieces……and just because they may not like one thing about them….well let them remember they too have their own flaws…..and help them work on theirs instead of hurting others. Our world needs you now more than ever in their hearts !!!!
In Jesus name
