Over the past few days I have had a lot of thoughts about what kind of image I have created of myself, within myself. There are moments where I have made myself out to be better than I am. Times when I have exaggerated a story just to make myself sound or look better. Times that I have not told details so that people would fill in their own details and make their own assumptions about things that may or may not be true. There are other times that I have made myself out to be worse than what I am. Times where I have been the martyr because of low self esteem. Times where I have wanted people to see me as the victim and feel my plight. There are times where I have knowingly, and a lot of times unknowingly, portrayed a false image of myself to others.
However, over the past few days I have longed, more than ever, to simply be the authentic me. The one that God Created and longs for me to be. The one the Jesus died for and longs to be in me. Today I want to throw away my false images of me and wear the real me in all circumstances. There is fear in reality. That means people will have to accept me as…well…me. There is fear of rejection, fear of people talking about me behind my back. However, today I long to truly please God before man. So with that said…this is ME!!!
