Devotional - don't hide who you are

“…fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” – Hebrew 12:2

Hi,

Little Jane always wanted to be liked. 
Therefore, she acted kind to everyone, never really speaking out on something she disagreed with.
That little Jane is still too often a part of me.

What is it that makes us want to be liked?

The Bible tells us that even Jesus wasn’t always liked. By far!
He had to go through shame and rejection because of who He was. 
Because of what He stood for.
Because of what He said and did.

I have to remind myself every single time that it doesn’t matter if people think I’m weird because I believe in Jesus. Or because I have a different opinion–a rather unpopular opinion–about a specific matter.

I have to be me. I have to be the daughter of the Most High King.

Let me apply that to our businesses. 

The way we handle our business is up to us. 
The world can think their part about it, but eventually, YOU are the one managing the tasks and running the show.

Do you accept your way of doing business?
Does your personality shine through your way of doing business?

It needs to. 
You are a unique selling point. 
Don’t hide who you are, but embrace the person God destined you to be!!

Go out into the world and use your way of doing business to touch people’s hearts!
Show ‘m who you are! You are wonderfully and beautifully made!

Start now so you can shine all throughout this year :)!

Jane
