Get real

Die to yourself.
Let God’s love flow out of everything you do.
Put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Take the opportunities God gives to bring His joy, encouragement, comfort, or wisdom to those who need it.
Pray to be real.

“Lord, make me real.
Create in me the person I was born to be,
free of falsehood and self-deception.
Show me—gently, if you please—what is
counterfeit within my being.
Uproot what is not of you,
let the seeds of faith be nurtured
so that I may become real.”
