Today’s Scripture
For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son.
Romans 8:29, NIV
Today’s Topic: Be Conformed to the Right Image
The reason some people are so stressed and run-down is they feel they have to perform, pretend, and keep up with their friends and others. They have their image on the throne and do things to protect how they’re seen. But you need to take your image off the throne and put God back on the throne. If others only accept you if you perform to their standards, they’re not true friends. It’s such a freedom when you can be real, be vulnerable, and not worry about what other people think. If you’re obsessed with your image, you can’t be conformed to the image of Jesus, and you’re not going to become who you were created to be.
You don’t have to hide or pretend or worry about what people will think. The people who look like they have it all together have issues too. Everyone is dealing with something. Don’t waste another day trying to get their approval. You don’t need them to validate you. Almighty God has already approved you. Be confident in who God made you to be.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You predestined me to be conformed to the image of Jesus. Thank You that I can get off the treadmill of impressing and pleasing others and just live for Your approval. I’m going to live confidently and boldly be the person You created me to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
