Seeing yourself through God's eyes (2)

"You are complete in Him." Col 2:10 NKJV

One Christian author writes: "What if everywhere you went, you ran into someone you didn't like? You attend a party and have to endure her conversation and constant opinions. You go to church, and she's sitting right beside you...she is at the dinner table... she's everywhere! 

That sounds pretty awful, but this is the exact situation you're in if you don't like yourself, because you are everywhere you go. You can't get away from yourself, even for a second, so you're in for a sad life if you dread your own company. Even though...it makes no sense to live...this way... most people don't like themselves. 

They may not even realize it, but some genuine soul-searching reveals the sad fact that they have rejected themselves, and in some cases, even hate themselves...I'm amazed at how few are truly at peace with themselves. Instead, they've declared war on themselves. 

God wants you to love yourself, not in some wrong selfish or prideful way, but in a healthy way that truly understands how special you are to Him. As you begin to see yourself as God sees you, not only will you love yourself, but you'll have the confidence and faith to be a powerful force for good in the world." Somebody said just because nobody has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are doesn't mean you shine any less. 

Just because nobody has been smart enough to figure out that you can't be topped doesn't stop you from being the best. Just because nobody has come along to share your life doesn't mean that day isn't coming...Keep shining, keep running, keep hoping, keep praying... keep being exactly who you are.

Seeing yourself through God's eyes

Keep shining, keep running, keep hoping
