Before you ever took your first breath, before anyone ever called you by name, God already saw you the real you. Not the version shaped by fear, failure, or other people’s opinions, but the version that carries His image, His strength, His purpose. He saw potential where others saw nothing. He saw greatness wrapped in imperfection, destiny hidden beneath uncertainty. And every day of your life since then has been an invitation to become that version He saw.
But somewhere between birth and becoming, life happened.
You met disappointment.You tasted rejection.
You believed lies.You began to adapt instead of align.
Slowly, you became a version the world could handle, not the one heaven designed. You dimmed your light to fit into spaces too small for your spirit. You shrank your dreams to avoid making others uncomfortable. You silenced your passion because it was “too much.” But here’s the truth: God didn’t create you to blend in ,He created you to stand out.
Becoming the version God saw when He created you is not about adding more; it’s about peeling back the layers of everything you are not. It’s the sacred process of unlearning the false and returning to the original. It’s trading performance for authenticity, comparison for contentment, and fear for faith.
God didn’t make a mistake when He made you. Every detail was intentional. Your personality, your voice, your gifts, even your scars,they all serve a purpose. He didn’t call you to be perfect , He called you to be real. Because His glory shines best through vessels that are open, not flawless.
Becoming that version means walking with God until what’s within you aligns with what He saw. It means letting Him stretch you beyond comfort, prune you where pride hides, and guide you when the road feels unclear. It’s choosing trust when it would be easier to take control. It’s surrendering your timeline to His wisdom, knowing that delay is not denial,it’s divine development.
There’s a version of you that only Heaven knows. The version God saw when He first thought of you the unbroken, unashamed, unstoppable you. That version wasn’t shaped by fear, crushed by failure, or trapped by people’s opinions. That version carries divine potential, hidden strength, and a fire that life’s storms cannot extinguish.
But the tragedy of our time is this: so many live and die without ever meeting that version of themselves. They live limited by labels, trapped in cycles of comparison, defined by past mistakes. They confuse survival for purpose, applause for identity, comfort for calling. Yet God didn’t breathe life into you just to exist, He made you to become.
Becoming the version God saw when He created you isn’t about perfection,it’s about alignment. It’s not about becoming who the world wants; it’s about returning to who Heaven designed. Every challenge you’ve faced wasn’t meant to break you, but to build you into that divine image. Every “no,” every delay, every heartbreak was refining you, chiseling away the false layers until what remains is the masterpiece God always saw.
Sometimes, becoming that version means walking through the fire you prayed to avoid. It means losing people you thought were permanent. It means letting go of comfort zones that feel like home but keep you small.
The version God saw isn’t insecure. It’s bold in humility, confident in grace, grounded in purpose. That version doesn’t chase validation; it carries peace. It doesn’t compete; it creates. It doesn’t imitate; it influences. It doesn’t live for applause; it lives for impact.
You can’t become who God saw by staying where fear keeps you. Growth demands movement. Faith demands action. There’s a reason you feel restless it’s your spirit reminding you that you’re living beneath your potential. Heaven is calling you higher.
Becoming the version God saw is not a one-time event, it’s a lifelong transformation. It’s waking up daily and saying, “God, shape me again.” It’s choosing character over comfort, obedience over opinion, purpose over popularity. It’s the courage to keep walking even when the path feels lonely because destiny rarely travels in crowds.
Before you took your first breath, God had already seen the best version of you. The confident, purposeful, disciplined, bold, grace-filled version unstained by fear, unbroken by failure, unshaken by life’s noise. That’s the you He imagined when He said, “Let there be.” But life, pain, and human limitations often bury that version under layers of insecurity, disappointment, and distraction. The real you isn’t missing it’s buried. And every season of your life is God’s way of excavating what He already saw.
Becoming the version God saw when He created you is not about becoming someone new it’s about returning to the original intention. It’s peeling off what pain built, what fear whispered, what people projected, until you stand as the reflection of Heaven’s design. This becoming is not soft ,it’s sacred, stretching, and sometimes shattering. But in the breaking, God is rebuilding.
Too many people live beneath their divine potential because they’ve accepted comfort over calling, applause over authenticity, and imitation over intention. They’ve allowed what went wrong to define who they are, instead of letting who God said they are redefine what went wrong. You can’t step into destiny wearing the garments of doubt. You can’t fulfill purpose while feeding the fear that says you’re not enough.
Becoming demands confrontation of your habits, your thoughts, your excuses, and your comfort zones. God will strip away what’s convenient to reveal what’s consecrated. The process will not always make sense, but it will always make you.
Look at the caterpillar it carries wings it cannot yet see. It crawls, yet within it lies the potential to fly. The cocoon season is ugly, dark, and silent—but that’s where transformation happens. Likewise, your silent seasons are not punishments; they are preparation chambers. God is not ignoring you—He’s incubating you.
Don’t rush your becoming. Every stage has purpose. The pain that felt like punishment was actually pruning. The doors that didn’t open were divine detours steering you to alignment. The people who left were never assigned to your next level. Every tear watered the soil for your emergence.
You were never meant to just exist. You were meant to evolve. Every day, you are either becoming more like the version God saw or drifting further away from it. Choose becoming. Choose the stretch. Choose the surrender. Because purpose is not found in striving, it’s found in surrendering to divine design.
And yet, the beautiful truth is this, God never gives up on His original blueprint. Even when you’ve strayed, failed, or fallen, His plan doesn’t change,it just re routes. The same hands that formed you are still forming you. You are not behind time; you’re right on schedule for His redemption.
Now, let’s bring this home with the story of a young man named Joel, from Kaduna.
Joel grew up in the dusty outskirts of Kaduna, in a small community where dreams were laughed at and opportunities were scarce. His father was a mechanic, his mother sold fruits by the roadside, and Joel was just another boy people didn’t expect much from. He struggled in school, battled low self-esteem, and felt invisible most days. But deep inside, there was a quiet whisper,an unexplainable voice that said, “You were made for more.”
He didn’t have money or connections, but he had determination and faith. He started studying by candlelight every night, reading old textbooks, and teaching children in his neighborhood during the day. He began volunteering at a local church, learning leadership and discipline. Slowly, he built a reputation for excellence. When others partied, he prepared. When others mocked his dreams, he stayed focused.
Years later, Joel earned a scholarship to study engineering abroad. But it wasn’t just his degree that made him stand out, it was his character, shaped by consistency, humility, and faith. He returned to Kaduna not just to boast of success, but to build opportunities. He founded a training center for underprivileged youth, teaching them skills and mentoring them to rise above limitations. He became a voice of hope where despair once ruled.
When asked what kept him going, Joel said,
“I simply refused to believe that the version of me struggling was the version God saw when He made me.”
Joel’s story teaches us this: God’s vision of you is not tied to your current condition. Your surroundings don’t define your destiny,your surrender does. You may be in the mud today, but Heaven still sees the masterpiece beneath.
So, rise again. Work again. Believe again. Speak to the greatness within you, even when it feels buried. You are not done, you are becoming.
Don’t let fear reduce you to survival when you were created for significance. Don’t let the world convince you to settle for less when Heaven already called you more.
The version God saw when He created you is waiting for you to show up.
Becoming is not easy, but it’s worth it.
And like Joel from Kaduna, may your life one day be proof that the God who began a good work in you was faithful enough to finish it.
You are becoming. Keep going
One day, you’ll look back and realize that every heartbreak, every closed door, every painful lesson was heaven’s way of molding you into the version He saw from the beginning. You’ll understand that nothing was wasted,not even the tears.
You are not trying to become someone new. You’re simply growing into who you already are in God’s eyes.
Strip off the fear.
Lay down the doubt.
Silence the noise.
There’s a masterpiece inside you waiting to emerge,the same one God envisioned when He said, “Let there be you.”
You are not too late. You are not too broken. You are becoming. And that version heaven’s original blueprint of you is worth every struggle, every sacrifice, every stretch.
Keep becoming the version God saw when He created you.
Because the world doesn’t need another copy.
It needs the authentic you
