I heard a great message today before coming to work and the preacher was "telling it like it is". I love those who do that. It challenges me and forces me to either get offended or get on the offense and start making some changes in my life. Mostly that latter one.

But he made a comment that I loved.

"You are a nobody if you are trying to be like somebody else. Because you can not be them. And while you are trying to be, you are not being yourself. So that makes you a nobody."

He goes on to encourage us to be who God made us to be. Quit trying to become a carbon copy of the person that sits next to you. God didn't make you to be them. That's what He made them for. He made you to be you.

God told Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:5) "Before I formed thee... I ordained thee." God put His plan into your life when He made you. Quit trying to be like everyone else and be who God has created you to be.

Prayer: "God, help us today to focus on what you have created us to be"
