We are the most appealing to others, and the happiest within, when we are completely ourselves. But it is a constant struggle because as Scripture teaches, the world is always trying to press us into its mold. The mold of the world is the mold of the synthetic, the mold of the artificial, the mold of the celluloid... the Plastic Person. The world cries, "You've got to be young... You've go to be tan... You've got to be thin... You've got to be rich... You've got to be great." But Scripture says, "You don't have to be any of those things. You simply have to be yourself... at any age... as God made you, available to Him so that He can work in and through you to bring about His Kingdom and His Glory." Now relax... Trust Him and be yourself ! ~Luci Swindoll~ ~~~ We spend a life time trying to be the perfect person, only to find out that God loves you just as you are. Be happy with that most unique person that God made.
