Be the ingredient that you are!

Sometimes in life, we struggle trying to be someone else, or live someone else’s life, with the feeling that that’s how it should be, because we see the acceptance this person has towards other people! Or maybe (and 90% of the time) we just think that we are not good enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, and that is when we fail!

Yes we fail!

We fail with ourselves, with our loved ones, and not so loved ones too kkkk, even with our neighbors, our dogs & cats and especially society (were we want to be accepted). Wen we try to be someone or something that we are not, we fail for the simple fact that we completely lose the essence of life that manifests itself in our uniqueness ! The way we are, with all our “goods and bads”, WE ARE JUST PERFECT!

Yesterday I learnt something related to this post, I was checking my Facebook and I saw this Kirk Franklin video and he said this :

People are like cake ingredients, if you taste each separately, (eat the butter, eat the flour, sugar) it will taste very disgusting, because to have a great result, to taste good we have to mix it all together, make all ingredients work together, to have a delicious cake!

I mean WOW! That is a very easy way to understand that even if I am the flour (I believe no one eats flour just like that) I am a precious ingredient and I am a part of plan, I am valuable, I am on to something big, beautiful and delicious! Each ingredient for itself is disgusting, it’s not good, it’s a disaster, so we need to find a baker that can look at us and see how much we worth it, our value and so thru Him we start accepting who we are and loving ourselves for our uniqueness because we know we are worth it! And most importantly, we start seeing things differently, because we see not only our beauty but other peoples beauty as well, and comprehending that even though we can be very different from one another in every possible way…we we need each other, because together we can we are amazing, a great team, we are invicibles to make the difference and become something big and great!

I started to accept to be the ingredient that I am!!!!!!!!!!!!! Far away from perfection, that’s me! I can call myself as messy person, who struggles, fall, cry, get lost, have regrets, has not accomplished yet things people my age did, lack of confidence…but of one thing I am sure, with all that mess, I AM AN INGREDIENT! and I know the best baker in the whole world, I can trust myself in His hands, I know that whatever He is doing, is going to be great, as a matter of fact, He created me, so He knows exactly what is my purpose in life. My mission? Be in the right place, conserve me, so He can reach me when He needs me, and use when He desires.

I am an ingredient in God’s hands…HE IS MY MASTER CHEF!
