IMPERSONATING SOMEONE
"Prasing God for your Uniqueness"
BY PASTOR NORMA CRUZ-HAYES, WRITTEN ON JULY 5, 2010
IN JANUARY OF 2009 A 14-YEAR-OLD BOY IMPERSONATED A CHICAGO COP. HE REPORTED FOR DUTY AND PARTNERED WITH ANOTHER OFFICER FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS. LOOKING AT THE DEFINITION OF IMPERSONATE WE CAN SAY THAT HE POSED, PRETENDED TO BE OR IMITATED A POLICE OFFICER.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT REASONS WHY PEOPLE IMPERSONATE OTHERS: FOR FUN, FOR ENTERTAINMENT, TO COMMIT CRIMES, TO STEAL IDENTITIES OR DUE TO DISSASTIFACTION WITH WHOM THEY ARE.
THE LORD HAS A WORD FOR YOU THIS WEEK: YOU ARE GOING TO GET TO YOUR DESTINY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO IMITATE OR PRETEND TO BE ANYONE ELSE IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE OR YOUR MINISTRY.
GOD DID NOT MAKE A MISTAKE WITH YOU. HE MADE YOU AN ORIGINAL, WONDERFUL AND UNIQUE HUMAN BEING. STOP SELF DOUBTING OR SELF QUESTIONING WHO YOU ARE. EVERY PIECE ON THAT PUZZLE THAT IS CALLED YOUR LIFE WAS PLACED ON IT WITH A VERY SPECIAL PURPOSE. HE EVEN PUT SOME OF HIS DIVINE CHARACTERISTICS IN YOU: THE ABILITY TO CREATE YOUR OWN IDEAS, TO LOVE AND TO FORGIVE.
THAT IS WHAT MADE YOU WHO YOU ARE AND EQUIP YOU TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION.
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
