Yes, we find encouragement, inspiration, etc.but when we begin to feel condemned, unworthy, never 'good enough'...that is totally not from God...<br /><br />He desires to make us who He created us to be..not to be what the other person is...<br /><br />He wants us to shine for Him and with the talents He has given us. <br /><br />I struggled for a long time trying to be someone else...like those other bloggers, or the writer, or the bible study teacher...or the quiet lady..hellooo people! I am NOT a quiet person..lol. God DID not make me that way...He made me to have a quiet spirit yes, but a quiet voice..no sir eeee bob! lol...I'm learning to be who He created me to be...He must increase, I must decrease. John 3:30. More of Christ, less of me, my will, my wants, my way.<br /><br />Blessings.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857554289543670693noreply@blogger.com
