I’m having a realization. I don’t think I’ve been granted the desires of my heart, because what I want isn’t in line with God’s will for my life. As much as I want the glory, and therein lies the problem, I’ve been selfish in my desire. God must be protecting me fiercely. Thank you for thinking I’m amazing. In the past, I would dispute that fact, but today I will accept the compliment. I may not think it or feel it, but I will claim it. Making an effort to change my habits. I’ve been speaking negatively about myself for years. Thanks to a therapist for digging to the roots with me. I’m not cured. I’m not sure I will ever be, but I deserve to love and be loved. Could it be: He hasn’t answered because the creation I needed to love first, is the one I struggle to look in the mirror. Forty, the year I stop bashing the one who least can afford the beating. Jesus, therapy and medicine, the elixir. The reason I still have breath today.
Love yourself and one another

You so often end with the quote - Love yourself and one another... like you I have found it hard to love myself, but I also am learning that lesson.

Great words, Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteIsn't it hard when life isn't what you want it to be? WE think we have so much control, and sometimes we don't. I hope you're having a great week. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWe can't heal or move forward unless we forgive ourselves
