“THE BEST ME!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 666

January 16, 2024///

I wrote a kid’s song a while back called “The Best Me I can be.”

One of the lines says, “I am specially created to be totally me”!

I am created to be me. Not to be like you. Not to be like anyone we know.

We are each unique in how and for what purpose God made us!

Each of us are created in His image and each of us have talents and abilities we can us to spread God’s Kingdom: The Kingdom of Peace, Love, and Forgiveness to all those around us.

However, some of us never become the “best me” we can be because we are too busy thinking about our past mistakes or about how someone else is better at something than we are and how we want to be like someone else we know.

But God made you in a special way for a special purpose in the day you are living in.

Psalm 139:14 (KJV)

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

Marvellous are thy works;

And that my soul knoweth right well.

Psalm 139:13 (KJV)

For thou hast possessed my reins:

Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

You are not a mistake; you are not an accident! You matter and God sees you, loves you and desires to help you be the best you can be.

I encourage you to look at who you are. You have qualities that can encourage, help, and draw others to the one who can give them real life: Jesus Christ!

Maybe you have no music ability, but you can cook. Perhaps you cannot stand before people and teach, but you can organize and therefore can help get teaching materials together.

What if you are not a good housekeeper but have great business ability?

I could go on, but you get the picture. There is no one else who has the mixture of talents and abilities you have and everyone of them is a gift from the Lord God Almighty!

We may think of people who are used by God, teach, sing, preach, go on mission trips, etc.

But may I tell you that you can be used every day. In your home, schools, businesses, relationships, stores and any other place or thing you are doing.

The key is to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and then everyday receive His leading to be the best you can be at whatever you do.

What is your task today, where are you, or where are you going?

Will you join me in committing everything you do to the Lord Jesus and doing it to the best of your ability?

Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV)

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

BE THE BEST YOU, YOU CAN BE!!!

Father, thank you for creating us to be a light of good to those who have no hope and are wondering if they even matter. Touch each of us today with the knowledge that we do matter, we have unique abilities and talents, and we dedicate those to you.

Stir up in each of our hearts that we are specially created to be total us. Let us do all we do as unto you. I ask you to reveal to each person reading this their gifts from you. Bless all who read this with joy! In Jesus name, Amen!

Love, MeMaw!
