How do you see yourself?
How does God see you?
Take a different look at
yourself through the eyes of the creator.
Try these optics on for
size. What do you see?
How do I see myself?
Who I am?
How do others see me?
Who do others think I am?
How does God see me?
Who does God think I am?
How should I see myself?
Who should I think I am?
It is mind over matter.
If I don’t mind, then it don’t matter.
Jeremiah’s
Call
Jeremiah 1:4
and the Lord gave me a message.
He said, 5 “I knew you before I formed you in your
mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my
spokesman to the world.” 6 “O
Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I
can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”
7“Don’t say that,” the Lord
replied, “for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. 8 And
don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and take care of you.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
9 Then the Lord
touched my mouth and said, “See, I have put my words in your mouth! 10 Today
I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. You are to uproot some
and tear them down, to destroy and overthrow them. You are to build others up
and plant them.” 11 Then
the Lord said to me, “Look,
Jeremiah! What do you see?”
Your
Call!
You 1:1 God says, “I
love you and want you to realize who you are. I
was the one who put you together in the first place.
I love you so much that I came down there to live with you. While I was there some of you, didn’t like me so you killed
me. I am sorry you didn’t
realize who I was. But, now you
can because I rose from the dead. I
want you to become who I created you to be.
Some of you I want to preach. Some
of you I want to become missionaries.
You can be sure of this. I
have a special job for you. Would
you remember who I created you to be, and show others what I have shown you? Remember I created you to be you and you are not like any
other. You are the only you I
made. Be yourself.
I don’t make any mistakes. Don’t
be afraid of the others. Hopefully
one day they will also see who I am. Look
in the mirror! What do you see? I see you and you are beautiful.
I am your Heavenly Father.”
