If someone were to walk up to me right now and say, "Who are you?" My response would be, "I'm Meghan Hill. I live in Columbus NC. I work at St Luke's Hospital. I love kids. I enjoy spending time with friends." And it wasn't until recently I really began to think…"is that who I am?" I spend so much time worrying about what other people think about me, and how they would describe me and say who I am….but what about my Father. Who does He say I am? When asked to describe myself, the majority of the time I use the description others us about me. Shouldn't what my Heavenly Father, and Creator says about me have more influence over me and my emotions than what the world says?
- The world says, "You're overweight." So I go on a diet.
- The world says, "You're not pretty enough." So I wear makeup to try and make myself pretty (only lasted a month).
- The world says, "You have issues? Get it together we don't care." So I keep this bottled up inside.
- The world says, "You need to have the latest….." So I work overtime at work to make the money to buy the latest trend.
- The world says, "You don't fit in". So I comprise who I am and my morals to be accepted.
- The world says, "You're 27 and you aren't married and don't have kids. What's wrong with you?" So I lie and say, "well I've never wanted to get married. And I like watching other people's kids better than having my own."
I will never be what the world tells me I need to be in order to be successful. And if I stopped there I'd be depressed!! BUT God has something to say
- God says, "You are perfect. You were made in MY image." Gen 1:27
- God says, "You are beautiful from the inside out. I see your heart." 1 Samuel 16:7
- God says, "I love you so much, I sent My Son to die for you." John 3:16
- God says, "You have issues and burdens? That's ok, come to Me. I want to help you." Matt 11:28-30
- God says, "I care about you so much I will not leave you like you are. I will help you grow." James 1:2-4
- God says, "I have plans for you!! Trust Me!" Jeremiah 29:11
- God says, "I want you to live with Me for ETERNITY!! I am preparing a place for you!" John 14:2-3
Today I am living in the truth of who God says I am. I am the child of THE KING. I am a princess, and my Daddy is the King!
