God says you are beloved, chosen, known, and a saint. The world says none of that. The world says if you feel weird or sad you must be wrong inside. Get skinny. Plump up. Lift this. Erase that. Like boys. Like girls. Be a boy. Be a girl. My suspicion is that if you do all or some…at least one because we all have done something to be different, you still won’t fix what ails you. I’ve lost 55 pounds. I’ve had trainers and instructors. I want to grow my followers and subscribers and have hired coaches and managers. I have been to retreats and conferences and zooms. Guess what? I still feel fat and I am not famous.
I recently listened to a podcast episode of With the Perrys that talked about gender identity. Their guest pointed out that people just want to belong. Is that what our struggle is? To belong? To be seen? Do we just listen to the first group that does that? I think a lot of the time, yes. Because isn’t that what we want? To just be seen and known.
That’s just what satan wants us to feel. He wants us to be confused and like we are messed up at the very core of our being. The world will tell you you are all wrong: how you look, how you think, what you do, what you don’t do, how you eat, drink, even sleep. No wonder we get confused. But here is what God says, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made…my frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made…your eyes saw my unformed substance”. (Psalm 139…read the whole thing) “I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isiah 43:1) You are loved by God and called to be saints. (Romans 1:7) “We are children of God, and if children, then heirs.” (Romans 8:17)
You are who you are. God made you. He made you to be you. “Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:1-2)
