[Casual Disclaimer: This post was written in January and when I was sick. I didn’t actually get around to publishing it until I was feeling better because I don’t trust Sick Prose to write clearly. Apparently I have no faith in myself because this post wasn’t horrible to read through afterwards Lol :P]
“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; 8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.”- Romans 12: 6-8
Hi, everyone!
I hope you guys are all doing well today! :)
I’m a little under the weather this week so there probably won’t be too many things for me to publish any time soon, but I hope to change that come February. I also hope to upload more consistent videos on my channel, too. This post might also be a bit rough to read, too. Lol :P
In my fatigued and tired brain, I’ve decided that I am approaching this whole YouTube thing in a way that isn’t unique to me and how I do things. This got me thinking and I’ve come up with a new game plan on how I approach making my videos.
A lot of times, I put pressure on myself to do anything with 110% effort because I view it as the only way to do things that truly matter. I also only let myself be the version of myself that I feel is acceptable to others which always results in me wanting to connect to people in a more authentic way and then I’m never able to do so.
It got me thinking a lot and I decided to list a few things below for a reminder to myself and hopefully this reminder helps you guys, too! :)
We matter because of who we are in Christ rather than what we can do for others. God created each of us unique and special because He loves each of us so much so why do we allow the world to tell us why we matter when we already matter so much through God’s eyes?
Our efforts shouldn’t be judged solely on the results . Our motives are just as important and should be taken into consideration. However, results are what people see and motives are what only God can truly see.
The reason why I put so much pressure on myself, and probably others do as well, is because we want others to accept us and we try our best to do what we see to be acceptable. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be accepted as long as it doesn’t dictate us trying to be someone we are not.
I hope this post reaches someone who needs this encouragement. I decided to randomly write about something that God has been putting on my heart so I also hope that the meaning comes across in a way that makes sense. If I reread this post after I feel better, it might be edited down a bit! :P
Thanks so much for reading!
