Warmest greetings to everyone who believes in love and is willing to pay the price to make love work. May love speak for you and yours, and even when the road is rough, may you trust the light of love to lead the way for you.
Continuing with our talk on relationship 101, it is important that we pay attention to the fact that we are fearfully and wonderfully made...
If God would let us take a small peep into the future, we will be shocked to discover how perfectly the way we are, fits into His plan for our lives. So anytime you try to do something to change the way you are just because you are ashamed of it, you are actually saying that God is not as wise as He says He is. You will always get into trouble when you try to be somebody else, and anyone that tries to duplicate himself/herself (or anyone else for that matter) in you, does not attach value to who/what God has made you.
You have a complex problem when you cannot celebrate yourself; when you feel that everyone is better than you are. Soon, if you do not already, you will hate yourself, and then you will begin to blame God.
Instead of trying to change how God has created us, perhaps we should work and pray to change, by the constant renewal of our minds, certain characters and traits that we have which are unacceptable to God, and are potential destroyers of our relationships.
Build up yourself to the level where you become trustworthy and reliable, then you will be in yourself a MIRACLE! And believe it or not, a miracle no matter the imperfections it may seem to have, is still a miracle, and there is someone (somewhere) who will love you enough to sincerely thank God for his/her miracle, despite those things you see as flaws.
Anyone that cannot stand the way you are (in terms of your size and looks), neither understands nor appreciates the wisdom of God in your life; and if you continue to hang out with them, they will eventually kill the very essence of God in you.
To be continued...
Blessings and more, to you and yours
