How you see yourself is who you become! If you see yourself as a failure, you will probably, eventually become a failure! Whatever image you have of yourself is who you become! If you visualize yourself as being who you really are in Christ, because of Christ, as a new person in Christ; more than a conqueror; an overcomer, you will live like it and be like it! My earthly dad was an alcoholic and a very mean person when I was a kid, growing up! He didn’t want children! He didn’t like having kids around! He always said, “Boy, you are stupid, ignorant and will never amount to anything in life!” I believed him! He was an authority figure over me! As a kid, I just thought I had to do what he said and believe what he told me! As I was growing up, I believed that “I was stupid, ignorant and would never amount to much in life!” So, I didn’t really excel in book learning! I figured, “Why try? I’m stupid anyway!” But, as I got older, into Jr High and High School, I realized I wasn’t so “stupid and ignorant” after all! I began to excel in sports, theater and other endeavors! I began to see myself differently, in a better light! I decided that my dad didn’t really know what he was talking about! As I saw myself having potential in many areas, I grew out of how he saw me and into how I was seeing myself! I saw myself as being able to be anyone I wanted to be and doing whatever I could become! Remember, how you see yourself is what you will become! See yourself the way God sees you, not how others may see you…
