Who Are You Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow?

          Yesterday I was a frantic sister trying to act as mom to my little sister who busted her head open. Today I was a sick girl who ate everything in sight. Tomorrow I will be a Nursery Leader, who will teach the little ones about being thankful to Heavenly Father & Jesus Christ. But who am I throughout the week? I may play different roles, but I am the same person.     I am a Christian on the days ending in "Y." I am a sister 7 days a week. I am a friend 24 hours a day. I am a Daughter of God for eternity!
          Too often people are not themselves to everyone, every time, or everywhere. We try to please everyone... & that's hard to do. We may lose ourselves in the process. We may forget who we are in life, if we can't keep track of who we are with this person, that person & those people. Are we humble only when people compliment us? Are we only respectful to those in authority? Are we patient and loving in deed and in thought only when we're at church?
          Jesus is meek, loving, compassionate, close to the Lord, patient, humble, kind, smart, giving, understanding, forgiving... & so much more! Was Jesus only these things when He felt like it? Did He only act this way when it was Sunday? He certainly didn't do it for attention. He didn't do it because that's who the people wanted... He did it because that's who He was, & because that's who the Lord created Him to be. He didn't have to do anything, but He did because He loved the Lord & because He knew that's what the Lord would expect of Him. He did it, because He said He would!
         So now I ask you, who were you yesterday? Who are you today? & who will you be tomorrow?
The choice is yours!
