are you the person god wants you to be?

Fairygreen, I see you are new to myLot, so welcome. I hope you spend many happy hours here. Please don't be put off by people who disagree with you: that is their right as long as they do it politely. I have known, loved and served my loving heavenly Father through the Lord Jesus Christ, for 48 of my 70 years. In that time He has guided and directed me; rebuked, corrected and strengthened me; challenged and encouraged me and undertaken for me in so many, many ways. Through studying His Word He has shown me so much about Himself, about me, and about His will and purpose for me. He has equipped me and given me gifts that He uses in His work here. I delight to do His will. I delight to allow Him to continue His work in me as He molds me into what I should be. "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain"

Which God are we talking about? 1 Cor. 8:6 1 Tim. 2:5 If it's the One true God, then the answer is NO, but... Philip. 1:6 countdown21.com

Yes...I think I am...I try to be myself and be honest and caring towards others. I sometimes feel pulled in different directions and I have made some mistakes in my life...but I think overall I am a good person....maybe too good at times...

For some reason where I am IS where God wants me. I have been honestly looking for a job and getting interviews and stuff for 3 months now. God is keeping me for now from getting a job. I could have one AGES ago otherwise! So I hope I am where God wants me to be. I am trying to get my writing going, still writing poetry about God and my relationship. God is always working on me and my behavior of how I ALWAYS base how my parents treat me and how I feel about God as to if God is there. Its harsh. Last week on I believe Monday or Sunday. NO it was Sunday. Got really got through to me 4x that day and night a verse from Matthew the one about NOT worrying was brought up to me in varies ways. And I realized all this worry over a job was doing something bad to me and I shouldnt be worrying. First I saw it on a bookmark at church, Then on the radio they brought up the verse of the day but when I looked at the website THAT verse was actually a week old! So they were rebringing up an older verse!, Third I saw it in part on one of my calendars, Finally as a testomony thing they do on our radio station some guy used that verse as to not be worrying. Yeah freaky yet cool. God was getting through to me and it WORKED! Okay thats all for now :)

I don't know. He never told me what he wanted me to be. Did he tell you?

I really think that i am trying to please god and not everyone else, but at the same time i am also trying to please myself. One of the most important parts of life is making sure that you are getting something out of it and giving back at the same time.

True, but most of the times we ourselves wonder about God's plans.

I am trying hard to please God and do His will. To use my talents for His purpose. To love and care for all. I walk personally with Him daily. I am not perfect, I fall, but I repent and try again.

That is true good article. I admit I don't live up to God like I should I know that I make mistakes and I admit I do.

I believe these days that I am the person God wanted me to be, I am happy with the way my life has turned around. I live my life as I want to live it and with God in my life. I always try to be the best that I can be, I don't have to pretend that I am someone that I am not if people do not like me as I am I do not worry about it.

Hello dear friend My name is Laila (Lailamaria)I am new here,and happy to be here among all these thoughtful friends. Really some words and topics are like gold here, important and fashinating too. Now to the golden interesting question of yours ; "Am I the one, God wants me to be"? To some humble part I am, because I turn to God as my loving Creator and Guide.When He gives me love back to me , often unexpectedly,I now that I am at least temporarily the way He wants me to be, RECEPTIVE to His love. I need that confirmation otherwse I am lost in the wilderness of fear. To stay receptive to Gods love is the criteria of whether you are the way you should be in Gods eyes. There is actually this concept to consider, "The Fear of God". It is not so nice,and could sem to be the opposite of love. aIt is not so much talked about here at least, in my country, but it is,means, guidance too, according to my understanding hitherto. I think this will drive you back to His embrace if you feel it. He wants to love us so we must try to behave in such a way that He can love us. He is like us, likes to love. Who doesn't? God is the Monarch of Love. This mysterious somehing that governs everything in existense. This is my main theme. Love. As for the rest, succeeding in following Him and His biddings completely and to that degree be the way I should be, surely I am not.And wil never be. My safety is only, and will always be my ability to turn to Him with trust, longing and fashination, just trying my best to obey, also to beg for forgiveness because I know I fail.( He only is perfect. If something is perfect there must be imperfections. We are the latter ones, imperfect.That's a sad fact.) But that way, through His love I can feel His nearness, be uplifted and happy.Without this I get so anxious,filled with fear.I try to avoid it, get diciplined and seek His love, through prayer and mentioning His name: "He is the Glory of Glories".That is His name for me. My belief is that we can never be the way He wants us to be,that is: ever walking the Divine Path, we can only make efforts to wander it. This too will be rewarded by Him, because He, or why not She, looks at our intentions. How pure we are in our minds and hearts. And He alone knows if we are pleasant to Him. That's my belief. I have taken your question in another way than other writers here.I know. In the sense that" I am what I should be because I am religious" then I am wholly the one I should be, but you see..... then when you become a believer, the "trouble starts", I've found.Cause then you have to work on the way you should be.God gives tests to His faithful children. One must not be afraid of that. One can even ask for them. You won't be afraid when you remember Gods love,and: God wanting you to be strong, steadfast and independent, He helps us with His love,to remain a lover of Him and His creatures. Sorry for writing so much, but I love the theme of Faith. Greetings from Laila in Sweden

When he becomes the god I want him to be then maybe I will worry about it. I really try to live according to MY dreams and goals. I feel sad right now, sort of ripped off, a woman REALLY led me on, at least I think so, and now I love her, I realize she has issues, I want to help her since she helped me, I CAN see the roller coaster ride it might be. I love her.

i'm not sure if i am the person god made me to be for the fact that god doesn't tell us exactly what to do. but i pray and i'm asking for his guidance everyday of my life. i can only communicate with him through prayers. luckily, i really have this feeling that he is guding me...everything we do to our life is our choice. the bottomline is be what you think is best for you, right for you and will not affect other people.
