Well Esteemed

Having a low self esteem is to simply slap my creator in the face with a 2x4 and call it crap. Blunt? Of course! When I am struggling with how I look, my body, hair, clothes or any other aesthetic characteristic that is out of my control, I am telling the same creator of this universe he has failed, the one who so intricately designed me before my mother knew who I was, The One who made me BEAUTIFULLY perfect in his image, who did not use ONE template and design variations but instead made ONE ME and called me PERFECT. Unlike me he didn't need 18 tries before he found the right look. He took one shot and nailed it. Why do I think my idea of beauty is so much better than his? It's like I get frustrated with the way, He the PERFECT ONE made me when he should be getting frustrated with me that I even think there is another option to what I look like.

It's not about having smaller this and bigger that, prettier those and brighter these. It's about embracing what we have been given. Sure we all have failures but let's not allow the world to shape what those aesthetic failures are. Let's deal with what we have been given and cherish that! We (at least I sure do!) have enough issues going on within myself why in the world bring on more stress and failure of what we perceive to be beautiful outside? It's a perpetual cycle of self destruction and I am sick of allowing a fable to run my emotions and relationships. Every single physical change I have changed and achieved does NOT magically make me feel beautiful. It's knowing the fact that nothing and everything will make me beautiful. Nothing the world can give me yet everything I already have. Yes, I have failures and yes I have a whole heck of a lotta junk in my heart I need to work through in order to make any impact in this world and keep solid relationships but I do not have aesthetic failures and I was made perfectly in his image. You might not think I'm pretty but I don't care. You might think I'm gorgeous and that's fine.

At the end of the day even when I'm doubting my self image, what assures me I am in fact beautiful is knowing there is not one single person who looks like me because he created ME PERFECTLY.

So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27
