Sometimes you forget that you are a beloved

Sometimes you forget that you are a beloved child of God, created in His image.

November 23, 2024

Sometimes you forget that you are a beloved child of God, created in His image. You are precious in His eyes—you are loved and accepted just as you are. You are forgiven. God loves you! The key is learning to accept God’s love. Then as you learn to accept God’s love for you, you learn to love yourself? A way to learn to love yourself is to write down 20 things that you like about yourself. For example, “I love myself. I am intelligent. I am kind. I am happy. I love my life. I am healthy. I am a great friend. I am a great mother. I am a great spouse. I am caring. I am a hard worker. I am nice. I enjoy life. I am forgiven. I can forgive others. I find the good in life. I am positive. I am honest. I am trustworthy. I am polite. I am beautiful. I am loved. I am… Then repeat them four times daily for the next 6 weeks. See it take 6 weeks to form a habit and 1 day to break it. If you do this for 6 weeks you change your perspective of yourself. You start seeing yourself through God’s eyes. You start to believe and understand just how special and precious you are. Try it, you will be amazed. Psalm 139:14 reminds us, “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” God Bless. Amen.
