Self Love
How often have you compared yourself to others? All too often we look in the mirror and feel that the image staring back at us is flawed. We are God's creation, beautiful in every way. Of course, there are defects, things we would love to change. Why consider changing what God deemed perfect? Yes, when He created you, He made you perfect. We are all unique in our own way, having many diverse traits and features which proclaims who we are. Comparing ourselves with another human being is a futile self-defeating learned behavior that has been embedded in us over the years. In this society that we live in our view of what is or is not suitable are dictated to us. We are told what beautiful and acceptable appearances to appreciate and which to deplore. Those of us who have fallen victim to society's beauty trap see ourselves as less than simply because we don't fit into a defined mold. Those distinguishing qualities they make up our persona is what makes us perfect just as we are. Beautiful inside and out. Most of you know I research every topic of discussion and often find nuggets I want to share. 50 Self-Loving Affirmations - Uncover Your Joy - Healing From Abuse is worth the read. As always be blessed. "Adrienne Vanterpool" |

ReplyDeleteAwesome, we all deserve love, especially self-love. How we got to the point where we love everyone and everything more than we do ourselves is a amazing. Some still don't realize that they are not loving and caring to themselves. Let's wake the world together.
DeleteThank you for the reminder, it's amazing the imprint social media can have on our opinion of whether we are "enough" of something. I appreciate this reminder because true enough, God made me just the way I am supposed to be and I should think that is, or that I, am quite extraordinary. Tganks for doing the legwork on the research!
ReplyDeleteWelcome. Let's keep the fire burning, spread the word - we are beautifully and wonderfully made by our creator each unique in our own way.
