Do you ever get a glimpse of a version of you that doesn't quite exist yet-but something in you believes it could? The happier, kinder, less stressed, more courageous you? The ideal version of you isn't imaginary at all. It's actually the authentic you trying to break through.
God knows the potential he placed inside of you, even if you don't yet. Accepting yourself as you are doesn't mean giving up on the possibility of growing into even greater things. And as you do, you meet the true you-the new you. And it may be new to you, but it's not new to God. It's the you he knew all along.
In “Do the New You”, bestselling author and pastor Steven Furtick speaks directly to the challenge of living out your God-given identity and calling. He explores and unpacks six practical mindsets everyone can adopt to get from who you are today to where God is taking you. These six statements are truths you can speak over yourself anytime and anywhere:
• I'm not stuck unless I stop.
• Christ is in me. I am enough.
• With God there's always a way and by faith I will find it.
• God is not against me, but he's in it with me, working through me, fighting for me.
• My joy is my job.
• God has given me everything I need for the season I'm in.
These simple, powerful, memorable phrases will shift your focus, feelings, and actions to align with God's vision of you. God isn't just calling you to do you. He's calling you to do the new you-the unique and powerful person he created and called you to be.
