"Love yourself in who you are and how God created you to be, unique and specific. In terms of our personality and our being. This doesn't have to be arrogant and self-glorifyinging. It's an expression of thankfulness and gratitude, and even worship, that we are His creation. And just as I can learn to see the beauty in how God created me I can also see the beauty in how He created others."
I took this quote from a blog I was reading randomly, and this was a comment a woman posted about the blog. I'm just starting my journey of finding myself, and loving how God made me, so I've been surfing the web a little bit for some insight. This blog wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but I did like this comment a lot. It's EXACTLY what I want.
I don't understand why it's so hard for me. As sad as it sounds I can't really find something I'm good at or like about myself. No matter what I can always find something better in other people that I don't see in myself. I know I shouldn't be comparing myself to other people because that's not exactly the best thing to do when you're trying to accept who you are and just right now I've decided my first step in how I'm going to learn to love myself: I'm not going to let thoughts of comparing myself to others cross my mind. If something ever comes up I'm just going to stop it and think about something else. Gotta break the habit somehow. The saying "You can't love others until you learn to love yourself" kind of scares me. I feel like I have been able to love others without the love for myself, but I know once I have the love for myself then God will bless the love I have for other people abundantly. I want to love me. God is such an amazing God. Why is it that I can't love something he created? I'll get there one day and I will be able to live out the plan God has for my life.
This is a video from the amazing Joyce Meyers. I just really liked the things she said in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWfSZ9hp2G0
