I KNOW WHO I want to tell a story about a little girl on her journey. This little girl was born a few weeks early and still healthy! The first few months of life were good, but then 4 months into life this little baby was infected with a virus. The enemy tried to take her out, but thanks be unto God she overcame that obstacle of life! God was Crazy about her! Well life continued and the little girl became school age, and she went to school and of course she made friends she was always friendly and talkative, her mother would say she has been talking since she was 10 months old. Well, this happy little girl begins to deal with some unpleasant comments being made about her… she was teased for nose and her school mates begin to call her rat girl or refer to her as Splinter from the teenage mutant ninja turtles. She was so embarrassed and ashamed of herself she would go home and cry. She begins to hate the way she looked. She wanted to be accepted so bad she did anything and allowed people to treat her any way just so she could have friends. Not only was this little girl dealing with the teasing and taunting at school. People in the world would tell her oh my you
are pretty to be so dark or you’re a pretty black girl. This poor thing thought she was really the ugly duckling, the only thing she had was long hair and boy oh boy did that make it worse. This little girl of course grew up and she took all these insecurities with her. Yep, she went to church, but she didn’t really understand … as this little girl begin to grow up and now standing a young lady and gets into her first real relationship and it becomes abusive. she leaves that situation and years later meets her husband, and he is abusive too but wait did I tell you she was a minister now how be it that she was going through this?? What was wrong with her! How could she be preaching and teaching and going through all of this you ask… I’ll tell you… She didn’t know who she was!! She didn’t know God was Crazy about her, she didn’t know she was created in His Image you want to know how I know? I am that little Girl!! The Bible teaches us in Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them
Once you tap into who you are you will see that God has equipped you with everything you need in order the live the life He has preordained and destined for you! Once it resonates in your spirit that you were made in the image of God to be like God your thought process of you will change. You can let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus it’s a reality check! You stop hating and begin to congratulate! You can rejoice with then that rejoice! You are no longer trying to do everything under the sun to get attention, you are happy and living a life of peace staying in your own lane! With a genuine heart you can say what God has for me is for me and believe it! You can say I am the head and not the tail and believe it! You can say I am blessed in the city and blessed in the field and believe it! You can say I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and believe it! You can then know Who You Are and Who’s You Are! God Bless You!
