Hey Reader, can I tell you something? For years I thought God would like me better... if I could figure out how to approach Him more like someone else.

God doesn’t wish you had a different personality.

For years I thought would like me better if I could figure out how to approach Him more like someone else.

More like the trained scholar.
More like the charismatic worshipper.
More like the sold-out selfless servant.

I saw my personality, my natural inclination and skills, as additional obstacles to somehow improve and overcome.

I was wrong.

God didn’t create all of us for relationship but only make some of us capable of it.

He didn’t give some people vibes He’d enjoy, and others of us personalities He’d rather not bother with.

It may feel odd to read, but from what I’ve experienced, most of us have underestimated our potential this way.

It’s a lie.

I’ve even downplayed it when it comes to ministry.
If only God made me more energetic and emotive.
Less intellectual and more heartfelt.
But God knew what He was doing when He made me.

God knew what He was doing when He made you.

Even last week I struggled with this. Wishing I could be someone better aka different for Him. But God softly reminded me that He welcomes me—not some pretend version of me—to draw near to Him. He offers the same for you, and that’s what our current podcast series is all about.

I’ve even created a fun short quiz, to help you identify how you connect with God best. Because all personalities are welcomed in His presence.
