Assuming the only bottle of water available around you mistakenly falls to the ground and though the water didn't spill, the bottle got stained with mud. Would you still consider the water inside the bottle safe for drinking after you wash off the mud on the bottle?
Again, let's assume you bought another bottle of water and while trying to open it, you find that though the bottle is tightly sealed, there are large black particles swimming in the bottle. Would you consider that bottle of water safe for consumption just because the container holding the water is perfectly clean on the outside?
You and I are made up of Spirit, soul and body. The real you is your spirit, the body is just your container. The day you give your life to Christ, your old man, that sinful nature attached to the real you dies, and God gives you a new Spirit. That is why the Bible says in Galatians 2:20 - My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me[NLT].
Therefore, as you go through your daily experiences, this your container - your body might fall a few times, the fall might even result in a few mud stains, but guess what, the real you, your Spirit is not contaminated. When you want to define yourself, remember that the real you is your Spirit, so let what God has done in your Spirit be the focus of that definition. God Bless You!

Can you mention any fruit or food item that can only be prepared in one way? Let's take rice for example, only God knows the number of types and ways of preparing rice. From fried to jollof, Chinese to coconut rice,.ofada, long grain, etc. Assuming all the rice in the world lose the ability to become jollof someday, i.e they fail in the jollof area of life, would that be the end of rice?
Now, think about it, if God made rice, and every other food item to be so diverse, don't you agree He'd have done the same with you and I?
Sometimes, people fail at one thing and it seems that's the end, they dwell so much on that failure like their entire life depended on that thing that failed, but there's more to you than one set back. I think one of the things most successful people have in common is that they've failed more times than they've succeeded, but they've learnt how to get up quickly and keep running. Proverbs 24:16 says - No matter how many times you trip them up, God-loyal people don’t stay down long; Soon they’re up on their feet, while the wicked end up flat on their faces[NCV].
Therefore, maybe you ended the last week with some plans that didn't work out the way you wanted, or you've been reliving a failure in the past that you believe shouldn't have happened, it's time to get back up again. God didn't make you to just be a jollof, you can be fried, you can be coconut, Chinese, banga, even palm oil "rice". Hence, I'd like to share this classic from Donnie McClurkin with you to kick off your Monday, get up like a boss that you are and get ready to rise higher than ever before. God Bless You!
