Joel Osteen Devotional 18 June 2019
Topic: God Loves Your Uniqueness!
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
“I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself.” – 1 Corinthians 4:3, NIV
TODAY’S WORD:
Many people are insecure about who they are, so they constantly try to gain the approval of everybody around them so they can feel better about themselves. They end up living to please other people, trying to fit into their molds so they can be accepted. They act one way for their boss, another way for their spouse, and another way for their friends.
If you are going to enjoy your life to the full, you must learn to be confident as the individual God made you to be. You are anointed to be the person God has called you to be! If you are secure in who God made you, you can resist those outside demands and pressures that try to mold you into something you’re not. Don’t rely on the opinions and approval of others.
Joel Osteen Devotional 18 June 2019 – God Loves Your Uniqueness!
Don’t let them steal your unique creativity. God made each of us with a different purpose. As you continue to grow in your relationship with the Lord, through prayer, worship and fellowship, you will gain confidence in the Lord that will free you from the opinions of man and allow you to be who God called you to be!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
God, I want to live for your approval alone. I need to feel your strength when I feel tempted to change who I am to conform to this world. Please help me to remember that You love me just the way I am! In Jesus’ name – Amen.
