We can get very discouraged if we are trying to live up to what others have planned for us or if we are trying to be who they think we should be. Is someone not happy with who you are? That can really be discouraging. BUT I say that God knows who you are and The Holy Spirit will work in your heart to change you into what God wants you to be. (conformed to the image of his Son) Sometimes what others want you to be is the opposite of what God is doing in you and wants to do through you. Don’t let others sidetrack you.
Sometimes the way others want you to be is really what they want themselves to be. It may be that God is working to change them and they put that on you. They don’t want to change, they want others to change.
Continue to look to God for things He wants to change in you. Don’t listen to others if it does not line up to the word and with what God has already been dealing with you on. Sometimes God does use others to work things in you. Sometimes He uses others to show you some character flaw that is in you. Don’t push that aside, surrender to the will of God in your live.
Romans 8:28-29
King James Version (KJV)
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Colossians 3:10
English Standard Version (ESV)
10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
Some people & things God allows to buffet us...
2 Corinthians 12:7
King James Version (KJV)
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
