Choice #3 : Believe the one who created you

0 Comments

I don't know about you, but I've had days where accepting my body was so hard that I couldn't fight it on my own. You know, the kind of days where you feel so depressed about the way your body is, that you just have that in mind. You forget about the good things in your life.

When you walk in the streets suddenly you are very aware of these specific parts of your body that you don't like. You think everyone sees them. You check yourself in every mirror that crosses your way. Every reflections in shopping widows pushes you down.

This is a vicious cycle. A cycle where you get depressed and obsessed by the way you look.

And let me tell you, this isn't a good place to be.

When we feel uncomfortable in our own skin, we are not the most pleasant people to be around !

We get so focused on ourself that we forget the others. Helping someone takes all our energy. Receiving the love of those who love us becomes hard.

When those days come to me, there is only one thing that helps me : Cry out to God for help !

After all, he is the One who made me as I am.

I would tell Him „God, I'm sorry, but I'm definitely not feeling beautiful today. I'm sorry to say it but I hate my body right now. Please help me to see myself with your eyes. Lift me up from this depressing mood I'm in. I invite you once again into into my heart and I let you renew my mind.

Help me God. This doesn't feel good. Help me to get out of this.“

And do you know what ? Every time, without fail, I would feel better...whether it was after some seconds, some hours, or after a night of sleep.

I would feel better and I wouldn't even understand why I have felt that way !

God is good !

He is our creator. He sees the beauty He has put inside us. So when we are struggling, who wouldn't be best at giving us a new sight ?

Believe what He says about you and what He says you are. He is the Truth, therefore He will never lie to you. God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that he should change His mind*.

You are God's handiwork**.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made***.

He made me. He made you. Who knows more than God what beauty is all about ? I mean, He is the one who speckled the night with stars, the one who gives us a beautiful sunrise and sunset everyday !
