I was answering some questions online earlier and one of them asked, "If you could wake up tomorrow morning as anyone in the world, who would you want to be?" It's kind of a tough question for some people, I guess. There are some people who really hate themselves. If they were someone else, would they hate themselves any less? I don't understand how anyone could legitimately feel so aweful about themselves. Yes, we all have flaws, but seriously... We are ALL made in the image of God! The freaking creator of the universe! As humans, we resemble him more than any other creature in all of creation. Doesn't that make you satisfied to be you?
Personally, I would so much rather be me than anyone else in the world. Not because I'm better than anyone else (cause heaven knows I'm not), but because of what God has given me. Sure, my life's no bed of roses. My parents and I do not get along, my siblings are total jerks with attitude problems, I live in a twenty-eight foot trailer with the people I already mentioned that I don't get along with, my dog is a complete psychopath and pretty much dislocates my shoulder everytime I take her for a walk, school is harder than it's ever been before and I'm struggling to keep up, and to be honest I don't have a whole lot of friends. But there's got to be some good in all of that. I've been rasied in a Christian home, I never had to go through a parents divorce, I have more things than I could possibly deserve, I do have a few close friends who I know would do anything for me, I've met someone who I love deeply and want to spend the rest of my life with, and most importantly, I have a savior who cares for me more than I could possibly imagine. Why would I or anyone else, for that matter want to be anyone besides themself?
Wake up! You're the perfect you!
