"July 31, 2013, God's Living Bible - The Third Testament - God's New Revelations - The Gospel of Messiah and Apostle Rev Colleen Etana - In Your Own Image or In God's Image?
God Through Messiah Rev Colleen Etana with The Holy Spirit:
Beloved,
So many seem to be concerned with their image.
Have you become a false idol unto yourself?
Television, music, and media or your peers dictate what they think you should wear, what they think true Beauty is, what's macho, powerful, or how you should act. And many have fallen for it, hook, line and sinker.
I Say this not to induce guilt but to make you think for yourselves and take a Good look at the image you've created. It's not really about what you see in your mirror, but what you can't see, your Soul, which is without form, just encased for now in a body.
Your looks, clothing, jewelry, and possessions do not define you nor make you successful and beautiful but on the surface alone.
Let your Soul, your True Self lead you back to what True Beauty and Power are, which is Unconditional Love for yourselves, your fellow brothers and sisters, and most especially the Love for God that you may want to focus on so you can SEE with Clarity the Soul that you've covered up or hidden away from yourself and the world.
It's that Love that shines ever so brightly it can cure another's blindness.
When you take some soup over to a sick friend or family member, helping a neighbor clean up their yard or home when they just haven't the time or can't do this for themselves.
Holding open the door for someone else and allowing them to go first or giving up your seat on the bus for someone else that needs it more than you do.
Letting someone else who has less items to buy than you do in the grocery line go before you. Are you in that much of a hurry?
It's only Love and a Kind word or deed that do not go unnoticed in Heaven, or by the ones who are really paying attention that matters.
It's how you see yourselves and what you think about you that is important. The rest is just frills and pretentious behavior. Keeping up with the Jones's, and for what?
Social status? To run with the pack? What kind of pack are you running with anyway and who's hoops are you jumping through?
To fit in and be accepted by those that do not even know the real them?
They are the ones that need the most help. Stand up and stand out. Be not afraid to Shine!
Dare to be different and to NOT be a cheap imitation or false image of what society or so called esteemed peers want you to be or become, just like them. Just so they can feel better about themselves and say you're no different from they?
Your Intrinsic Value is in how you see yourselves, not in how others see you, nor what they even think about you. They need to be more interested in what they think of themselves too and not how they measure up against each other just to be able to say I am better or you are worse.
The only opinion that matters is Mine and your own when it comes to you. And that's private between you and Me.
You have nothing to prove to anyone and no need to even try to convince them that you're a Good person. Just Be a Good person and it will show.
And if that isn't evident enough for anyone else but you and I, then so what?
They are blind to their own identity and won't see the Greatness in you anyway.
And that's perfectly okay, let it ALL go and keep moving forward. Who told you that you had to follow the crowd when they're about to walk off a cliff and take you with them. It's like the blind leading the blind.
Take the plank out of your own eye before going after the speck in someone else's.
You are only responsible for what you think and how you feel about you. Go at your own pace and create a pack of ONE why don't you? Who made the rules up anyway?
Service is it's own Reward for by helping others it serves the Greater Good of which you are a part! What you do to others, you also do to yourselves and to Me, all at the same time.
What would you have return to you 100 fold? Hmmm? Things or Love? Negative thoughts or positive ones etc.?
What you put out comes back to you, and it is all up to you. Your choice, not someone else's. Who is there for you when the walls come a tumbling down? I AM. Are you even there for you?
Have you seen those little rubber bracelets that were a fad not too long ago that say: WWJD? (What would Jesus do?)
Is it just forgotten jewelry being worn without meaning? Are you walking the walk or just wearing something on your sleeves just for show and not for real? Are you just following fads?
When you take back your own power, and heal yourselves, then you are able to empower and heal others. You may even become the Rock of Gibraltar if you want to see yourselves that way, Feeling Joyful. Why not?
You could learn a lot from a Rock, for even the Rocks cry out. A Rock doesn't have to pretend to be anything different but a Rock, it just IS.
And so it is,
and evermore shall be,
AMEN"
