Be You

Funny, how movies I've seen a bunch of times still manages to teach me something new. Mom's Night Out is a crazy fun movie to watch full of laughs but when Bones, a stranger turned friend of Allyson's says something profound, it really makes one stop and think. Have any of you felt like everything you did wasn't enough? Have you felt worthless to your friends, family and maybe even to God? Since I've moved, I've felt that way hundreds of times. I try so hard to make friends and so many toss me to the curb or treat me with disrespect. Sometimes I feel like giving up and just trying a new city altogether, but then I meet new people and my heart feels light again.

Bones, not a man of God, said this..."He loves you, Charles. No matter who you are or what you do or how far you run. Jesus will always be loving you with his arms open wide just for being you."

It's crazy how often we think we have to earn His love or be someone we're not in order for others to like us. He created us as individuals and He does NOT make mistakes. He could have made us all robots but He didn't....for a reason. We each bring something unique into this world, our families and friends.

Being me took so long to come out, but when I do share my stories and be myself, I've found that some will accept and some will reject. Very often those who reject you isn't a reflection of how awful of a person you are but rather a reflection of how immature they are or unwilling to see your point of view. If you are true to yourself, respectful towards others I can't believe you'll never find people who will love you for who you are. God certainly will never stop loving you, we can always count on that.

God made each animal differently too, an eagle for example, cares for its young like its supposed to. It's a beautiful thing because its doing exactly what God wants.

We beat ourselves up trying to be someone/something else. STOP! PLEASE! Be you! Be the person God made you to be and you will be much happier. :)
