You do You:

You do you

Have you heard the phrase—“you do you”?

At its best, it affirms that people ought to be themselves and not just fit the current stereotypes. There is, however, a downside: what if “doing you” is toxic to yourself or to others?

The Bible has a response to “you do you.” First, it says we are all created unique and special—doing you is how you were created. But the Bible also reminds us that we have a propensity to sin, to fall short of God’s standards.

Jesus gives us a way to know God, get ourselves right, and be our unique selves. “You do you”—but do this with one eye on your unique gifts and the other on the standards God calls us to live by.
