I have struggled a lot in my life, with so many different things, from abuse, sexual, mental, emotional, physical, all of it, to depression, rape, death, suicide, I’ve through pretty much all of it, and I lost a lot of my self worth in grade eight, and continued it for three years. And now, I’m in grade 11, and this past year I have grown soo much. I have grown in my faith, and I have learned a lot about who I am, about my life, my family, my friends, life in general, and most importantly God, and He has helped me to see how beautiful I truly am no matter how guys have treated me and no matter how stressful my life has been. He died on the cross for our sins so that we wouldn’t have to! It’s amazing and once you understand God’s love, and once you encounter God the way I have, You’ll never go back. There will always be harder tougher days but You are beautiful and amazing and everyone should know it. Be the light of God and just BE be yourself, love yourself forgive others, and just live the life God has granted you. Because life is beautiful. and life is amazing, Life is GOD. When I started changing how I felt towards myself and life, my friends started to see a huge change in who I am and I never felt better. Even though I’ve been through a lot of pain in my past, I’m looking forward to a bright future with the Lord, and so should you, God Bless, <3 xx

i read this this morning and it helped realize that God made me the way I am and that if He loves me, I should love myself. Lately ive had a problem with self esteem because of my acne and weight, but reading this today, I know that I dont have to struggle, all i have to do is keep my focus on God.

Jasmine,
No one has the right to say negative things about you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God, and for that reason you are special. Loving yourself brings honor to God. I pray that God gives you eyes to see yourself as the wonderful person he created you to be. Why others have their own opinions, is just human nature. But we are all called to a higher standard. God’s standard of love!!!
Blessings!!!

I read and I know what you are trying to say. I really do. But, I don’t really see how I view myself affects the way I worship God. Yes, I look in the mirror and hate what I see. I can see where everyone gets all the negative things they say about me. But… Why is it so important to people? Why does everyone view things like this?
Sorry if that seems off topic… Just something on my mind.

Jessica,
Know that God does not want any of us “comparing ourselves” to others, that is a trick of the enemy. God has created us all as unique individuals, all with our own beauty and talents. When you look in the mirror, proclaim what God says about you, not what the enemy is tricking you into saying. You are the apple of God’s eye, he loves you dearly, and he is pleased with you. Begin to speak good things about yourself, when we look at our imperfections ( and we all have some) we make them out to be bigger then what they are. When we focus on our good qualities, they become bigger in our sight. I pray that you will see yourself as God sees you, and you will begin to appreciate how wonderfully you were created and how much you have to offer. Our appearance does not determine our value. May you find peace in God’s love for you. Blessings!
