Loving myself
I’m realizing a few things in the past few months.
When you put your trust in God, your lose the world slowly but surely. I’ve not missed it much. I won’t still say I don’t have pangs of FOMO. I’m having to trust that what I want God knows it, and it will happen when it’s meant to.
My social media feeds are flooded with a pop star’s music. Good for her. Have I listened? No. I have to stick to my favorite classics and worship music to keep my heart mind and soul fixed on the One in whom my soul sings. I’m having to rid myself of the temptation to want things right now. I also don’t want to follow a crowd. I’ve done it for far too long to disastrous results.
I want to God to smile when He thinks of me. I want to make a difference. I want what I do to matter. I’m appreciating the journey because I’m being honest with myself and others. I’m learning what it is to love self. Fully and without conditions. I’m learning that not everyone will like me, and that’s okay. It’s what I’m learning when I’m willing to be silent before the Lord. Less of me. More of Him. It has made freed me from me.
I love you all.
Sería imposible agradarle a todo el mundo. Tan imposible como que todo el mundo te agrade.

I have discovered that many people do not like me, which came as a surprise, but I had already anticipated that this would be the case. Nobody is obliged to like me! I like myself and that is what matters to me! And I like you and that is what matters!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!<333
Hermoso texto, no hay que agradarle a todo el mundo, lo importante es que cada uno se agrade con lo que es y hace.

The truth is, you are never going to be everyone's cup of tea - and that's okay. As long as you like you, and God loves you, that is what truly matters. And as you grow, you will find your people - those who love you regardless of flaws or anything else. That is what to focus on. Always.

God has always smiled when He looked at you, as you are part of His creation and perfect in His eyes. Yes, you are correct, we need to protect our peace of mind, and focus ,by being careful what we watch and listen to.
ReplyDeleteLearning to love oneself can be difficult - I had to do a lot of self forgiving also, but now more than ever I am ok with me.
Blessings
