Joel Osteen Devotional April 22 2021 – Be the Original You

Psalm 139:13, NLT

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

When God created you, He made sure you were fully loaded and completely equipped for the race that’s been designed for you. You didn’t get shortchanged. Now quit wishing you were something different: If I had that person’s personality, I could do something great. If I came from their family.. If I was just.. Don’t get distracted by what someone else has. As long as you want what they have, you’ll be frustrated. If you didn’t get what somebody else has, that means you don’t need it. You are equipped for your destiny. Have a new perspective. Next level thinking says you have the right looks, the right talents, and the right personality. If you needed to be taller, God would’ve made you taller. If you needed a different personality, He would’ve given you one. If you needed to be another nationality, you would be another nationality. God doesn’t make mistakes. You’re not faulty. You have been fearfully and wonderfully made. Be confident in what you have.

Father, thank You that I can stop wishing I had what other people have because You have given me the right everything of what I need. Thank You that I am fully loaded for the race You have designed for me. I declare that I am going to be me. In Jesus Name, Amen.
