Be True To Yourself? Really?

Hello Guys and Gals!

I am writing this post for a friend of mine who is to remain unnamed. Everyone always says, 'be true to yourself!' I don't really like this statement. Let me tell you why. The reason why is that what if you're being true to yourself but you haven't figured out what yourself truly is? Then you might say that you need to 'find yourself!' Again, what if you're not looking in the right places? All these self-help politically correct sayings are just simply bull corn!

The truth is, there is only one thing that works and that is being true to God! If you are being true to God, all them other things in life like being true to yourself and finding yourself come as a result of being true to Him! Let me be clear! I'm not talking about some pagan god like Allah or Buda or even Ra who was the Egyptian god! I am talking about YHWH, Who became flesh and dwelt among us as Jesus Christ! There is only one God! All the other 'gods' of other 'religions' have nothing in common with Jesus! Do you know why? Because He is risen from the dead and no other 'god' can claim that! No other 'god' has eye witnesses to the fact that they walked, talked, ate, and drank among the living after being dead! But in Jesus we have that!

If you seek first the Kingdom of God, then all other things shall be added unto you! Seek God! Seek Jesus Christ! Go and find out who He really is! This means digging into what He said and did when He was among us. This means studying the Word of God and getting to know Him on a personal level. Are you doing this?

Now the person I am writing this for is a very dear friend of mine who is going through a hard time right now. This person has lost something very dear. My message to this person is stay seeking after Jesus. The things that have been taken will be restored again. But you must stay true to God first so that the lost will see integrity when they look at you!

I know it is tough as you walk through the fire of God's cleansing. But it is a purging fire and all the impurities and bad things that you have will be cleansed with His holy fire! I know it hurts. But it also heals! And best of all, Jesus will be right there with you as you go through this pain you are now feeling!

I ask that all who read this post today please to pray for this person who is already doing God's will and that He upholds them in their effort to remain in Him!

God bless you all this day!
