Why do we try to be something we’re not? God has made each one of us different and unique. He’s given each one of us a unique talent, gift, and special set of skills. However, it seems like we don’t like what God has given us; therefore, we try to be somebody else. In the bible; Paul was casting out demons. The seven sons of Sceva, a priest and a Jew saw this and tried to be like Paul. When they tried to cast out the demon, the demon spoke to them and said; Paul I know, Jesus I know, but who are you. Then that demon tore them up, beat them down and stripped them naked.
It’s dangerous trying to be something you’re not. Learn how to embrace who you are. No one else can be you. You are the best you there is. Besides, when you’re trying to be something you’re not; you’re telling God that he failed when he made you. You’re telling God that you’re not pleased with his design of you, you’re upset with the manufacturer. God didn’t make a mistake when he made you. You are just focused on the wrong thing and the wrong people. Put your focus back on God and stop trying to be something you’re not.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
