This post is for anyone who has ever had issues with their self worth. I write this because of the world that we live in. A world that is consumed with the superficial worth of human beings. We are constantly bombarded with images of what society views as "beautiful," from magazines, television, and all types of media. The more we grow, the more we are becoming obsessed with our flaws.
I want everyone who reads this to understand one thing; God loves you and knows that you are special. He knows how special you are and now it's up to you to realize how beautiful and special you truly are. Embrace your flaws. I view my flaws as factors that make me unique. My flaws make me different from everyone that I come across. My flaws make me realize how special I really am. If God loves me despite my many shortcomings, the least I can do is embrace all that makes me who I am. I choose to look at myself through God's eyes. He knows how many hairs I have on my head. That makes me realize how important I am to Him. He would not care to know such information, if He didn't care for me and love me so. With that being said, there's no point in looking at yourself through the superficial eyes of society. If you do, you will never live up to those impossible standards and pointless expectations.
Love yourself for what you are, just like God does.
Love yourself for what you are, just like God does.
The more you grow in Christ, the more you should become in touch with your true beauty, which is the spirit within.
ReplyDeleteI think I understand why you would say "embrace your flaws", however, when becoming one with Christ, you are stripped of those layers of "flaws" and becoming a new creature.
Who you are in Christ is what makes you special, and that's what God sees. He hates sin, but still sees the good in you - so that is what you should embrace.
Unconditional love is from God, and acceptance is from man. With man is where your flaws are, and with Christ is love.
