I'm going to get real with y'all for a moment, because thats what this blog is all about. Growing up, even though I knew deep down that God created me In his image, I hated who I was. I never thought I was good at anything, I wanted to be someone else. I wasn't selfish monitarily, I didn't want people's money or toys, I was emotionally and physically selfish. I wanted other peoples talents, good looks, fashions, etc. I would spend nights in prayer, blaming God for not making me the way I wanted to be. Let me say that again... It was Gods fault for not making me the way "I" wanted to be. Messed up, right?
I'm happy to say that as I have matured in my walk with Jesus, I have been able to break down a lot of those barriers and be comfortable in my own skin. It has been a tough journey, and it's not over , but through Christs love, I have moved forward, leaps and bounds.
So, that's my story growing up... What about you? Do you take pride in your self? Do you hate yourself? Or perhaps, you are overly proud of yourself bordering on arrogance? I pray that we all would find a happy medium where our joy is not in our physicallities but in the fact that we are God's creations and he doesn't make trash. Remember, as I stated early, you were created in Gods image, When you hate yourself, what are you saying about your creator?
In closing, I will end with this wonderful cliche, 'Be yourself, that's the best person you can be.'
