If you believe that you were made in the image and likeness of God there are certain things that you should be willing to accept about yourself. To be made in the image and likeness of God is to not just resemble God but to be crafted after God. We are not God but certainly we possess character traits and abilities which God uses to validate His presence with us and in us! Mary Mary singing about who they are and their accomplishments say it well, "it's the God in me"!
What do you know about God? You know He is compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in mercy. You know He is truthful, fearless always victorious, that He cares for people who are oppressed that He is powerful and therefore empowers us and the list goes on.
Can we say we are made in God's likeness and profess love for Him while we 'cannot stand' the people around us, or can we say we are affiliated with God yet allow fear to overtake us and dictate our very existence even limiting how big we dream?
Who is God to you? Take a moment to think about what God has done for you in the past. What behaviors and attitudes have God been asking you to modify or discard so that you can begin to be more like Him? Have you been using the authority that God has given you in your everyday life or have you been living a defeated life believing and acting as though everyone is against you, that you will never realize your dreams, that you are not capable of being and doing the things your heart most desires?
Today take heart there is God on the inside of you, therefore He has gifted you with everything needed to resemble Him and to win in this life.
It is time to embrace who you truly are!
