"I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will sing your praise. I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted. May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD, when they hear the words of your mouth. May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.
Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands."
Psalm 138
Wow! God's love for you and me is indescribible! Knowing how the Lord of all nations, sitting on His Mighty throne cares so much about us is just so extradorniary uncommon because of the world we live in. So many of us try so hard to put on a "mask" in order to hide what's really going on, or who we really are. I'll admit, I am definitely guilty of it.
So, how can you learn to be bold about who you are? Sometimes its socially acceptable to be strange-but only if the crowd says so.
BUT God has some amazing news about who you are. YOU are the WORK of GOD'S HANDS! He will not abandoned you; He made you unique. Out of 6 billion peoply on this planet there is absolutely NO one exaactly like you. One of a kind.
"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
Ephesians 2:10
God delights in nothing more than seeing you live as the masterpiece He made you. He's absolutely worth praising for how he made you. When you're shy about revealing the real you, He is your source of power to crack out of your shell.
