Becoming Who Jesus Made You To Be

Sometimes you fail.

You fail at your biggest dream, your life goal, the dream you have had since you were five years old.

Reality sets in and you begin to realize that despite every effort you have made: you still failed.

Doubts coming running into your head where there is no chance of stopping them.

Then, just when you feel like you can’t stand anymore, Jesus steps in.

You fall to your knees in despair, you cry out with all you have left.

You feel as if your entire world is falling apart. But just when you are about to break in two, Jesus comes to you.

He says you are forgiven, you are His child, and you are adored.

He says “I made you, every part of you and I love you exactly the way you are. Even though you push me away, I am always standing there beside you. I will never leave you, not for a moment.”

It takes you a few minutes, but you begin to realize that even through your mistakes, your sins, and your countless failures – you have a God who cares so much about you that words cannot describe the deepness of His affection.

In Jesus, you are made new.

He suffered, was beaten, and killed for you. He knew that this was the only way.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that someone so perfect would be willing to die for a sin He didn’t commit. But he did, for YOU.

And to fulfil our purpose in His plan, it’s about following Jesus.

Where, being a Christian is not about being perfect or putting on your “church face” every Sunday.

It’s about family and faith.

It’s about caring for the weak and giving strength to the powerless.

It’s about loving others who are different from yourself.

It’s about becoming more selfless than selfish.

It’s about putting God first, everyone else second and you third.

It’s about becoming who God made you to be.

It’s about praising Jesus for the little things and the big things.

It’s about believing when there seems to be no hope left.

It’s about trusting in a God you have never seen.

It’s about saving someone else’s life and not your own.

It’s about getting as many people to Heaven as possible.

It’s about believing that God has a purpose for you. No matter the mistakes you have made in the past.

God has called YOU to become part of His plan.

He is willing to give you a future and a hope.

Are you willing to accept it?

P.S. I am nowhere near perfect on any of these items listed. Everyday I struggle with jealously, doubting, guilt, pushing my faith away, putting myself first over everyone else. Despite the fact that I struggle with every single thing I just listed. I know, that I have a God who is willing to help me through all of it. He is more than willing to work at it little by little and help me fulfill my purpose in the world. I encourage you all to do the same. God Bless!
