Positive Quote for the Week-The Real You

“Be the same person in the dark as you are in the light! Let the “real” you be your permanent representative!” Erica Willis

The worst thing that you could do is be a completely different person behind closed doors than you are in front of other people. You are the nicest person when you’re at work, at church, around your friends, but when it comes to your spouse and children you are their worst enemy. You are treating everyone around you one way but in private your entire demeanor changes.

The Lord is very clear “…a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways,” James 1:8. The word double-minded that God is using here refers to one that is wavering and uncertain. In other words you are not sure of whom you truly are so you act one way one second and a completely different way the next.

You want to make it a point to be so real and authentic that no matter who you come across, that person will describe you the same exact way. You have to be the same in the dark as you are in the light. The most important people in your life should get the same version of you as other people get. It is a dangerous place to be when you don’t know who you are and Whom you belong to!

The same person behind closed doors when nobody is watching is the same person that you should be when everyone is looking. Don’t develop relationships and social media statuses based off of a counterfeit representative! Let the real “you” shine through.

Scriptures on authenticity

1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Ephesians 4:25 “Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.”

Proverbs 11:3 “The integrity of the upright will guide them, but the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.”

Proverbs 10:9 “He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known.”
