I was in conversation with a friend recently and we were talking about weight, of course what girls don’t, weight and shopping for clothes was the conversation of choice. Anyways, what I realized is no matter how many people tell you, you look fabulous, until you believe it for yourself it’s not reality. Let’s face it girls- you know this to be true. We have to be comfortable in our own skin. This is the same with the blessings in our lives and our walk with God. Until we see and experience it as reality for ourselves, it won’t be real- no one else can do this for us.
We are all blessed; the key is recognizing the blessings all around us. We have been taught to believe when one thing bad goes wrong to see it as a hurt, pain, a step back, God must not care but in reality if we allow God to finish what he started, without getting in the way, the blessings that will come out of it- wow! I can type and list many of blessings in my life and it would be an incredibly long list. But this would prove nothing to anyone else accept for me. We MUST experience within ourselves to fully grasp it. And until we are completely willing to give God 100% of our situations that seem ‘horrible’ we cannot fully understand the peace and grace that God offers us.
AMEN!!! That is so true. I cannot stress the fact that faith in God can help with any problem you have. As far as physical appearance..we can say it doesn't matter but it does to so many. However, we should really be getting our bodies healthy for God. He gave us a body with the ability to do anything with it that we set our minds to. we need to take care of our bodies!
