God Sees...

God sees you as beautiful, perfect, forgiven and special. Why is it so hard to see ourselves that way? Why is it so hard to see that we are wonderful in God's eyes and believe it for ourselves? Why do we struggle with fashion, weight, impressing people and failure? Why can't we just accept who we are and that we are loved by God? That we are His perfect children and, no matter what people or society think, that is all that matters. It doesn't matter what people say you should wear, how you should look and act in order to be accepted. You are already accepted by someone so much bigger than life itself. You need to be apart of the in fashions, and the cool group. When in actuality we have already won with God. We are winners and we are perfect, we are beautiful, we are forgiven and we are special. All because we made a commitment to Him and accepted Him in all His glory.
So, why is it so hard to believe? Why do we struggle.....
It makes me nervous for my niece and all the little children that are growing up in this society that puts so much pressure on you from such a young age. When we fail we are considered a failure but I have been told that it is not true. "Even though you fail, you are NOT a failure." Easier to say that then believe it. Then again, if we install thoughts into our children's heads from when they are small they will believe it. We can tell them that they are beautiful, they are strong, they are special and that even though they might fail at something or make mistakes, it doesn't mean that they are a failure. We will love them no matter what and support them. God loves us and we can tell our children so that when they grow up they will believe it with no hesitation. We can make the difference starting with ourselves. We can start the solid foundation of Christ. We are the beginning of a new change...
I see some friends that have a huge faith in God and I admire them so much. I am starting with that journey but I hope that when I have kids they will have this undying faith and trust like my friends. That they won't question it.
Lord help all to see themselves as you see them.
Help us to change the untrue thoughts that we believe.
Help me to see the woman that you see.
Thank you for loving us just as we are.
Amen.
