How can we succeed at being ourselves if we don't know ourselves? Life is like a maze sometimes, and it is easy to get lost. Everyone, it seems, expects something different from us. There is pressure coming at us from every direction to keep others happy and meet their needs.We then attempt to become what they want us to be. In the process, we may lose ourselves. We may fail to discover what God's intention is for us. We try so hard to please everyone else and yet not be pleased ourselves.For years I tried to be so many things that I wasn't - that I got myself totally confused. I had to get off the merry-go-around and ask myself: "Who am I living for? Why am I doing all these things? Have I become a people-pleaser? Am I really in God's will for my life?"Have you also lost yourself? Are you frustrated from trying to meet all the demands of other people while feeling unfulfilled yourself? You need to take a stand and be determined to know your identity, your direction, and your calling - God's will for your life. You will find yourself by finding His will for your life and doing it.If you give your heart to doing His will, you'll find your true self.(Excerpt from Being The Person God Made You To Be - Joyce Meyer)How many of us has had to ask this same question at some point in time in our life? Thank God that He leads us into the path of His righteousness and if we ask Him what is your will God for my life? - What is it that you want me to do that nobody can do - He will reveal it to you.Blessings AbunDantly - Denise
