I Love me, I love me not 


     Sometimes I wonder! There are days when I absolutely adore myself. I know I am gifted, I'm anointed. I know that I am attractive because I get enough compliments to believe this to be true. I know that I have great hair, that's been my signature all my life! The problem is I don't always feel this way. Validation can be a powerful thing!  I'm a firm believer that we must be careful who we let inflate our ego because the same people, at any given moment can deflate it. Self confidence is very important. It determines our level of motivation and self importance. Honestly, society, reality TV, the media, including social media has done a true disservice of distorting the value of non superficial characteristics. Everything is visual. The popularity of the "Selfie Hatred Syndrome" has caused us to misrepresent who we really are. Point blank, we want acceptance!  We want to feel attractive and we want to be popular in public. Honestly, how many of these characteristics matter when life is beating you down?  How many of these people that give daily approval are really gonna be there when the vicissitudes of life come? When I'm in a crisis, I don't need a like on my picture. I need someone to like me enough beyond what you can see, to go to God on my behalf and pray for me. I need someone to love me enough to see beyond my flaws when I'm not feeling my best and tell me I'm beautiful anyway and mean it! I also need someone to respect me enough and the gift that's in me to uplift me and believe in me when I don't have the strength or common sense to believe in my own dream. I know today's daily dose is a bitter pill, but it's one that I hold very near and dear to my heart because I have to encourage myself on a regular basis especially because I'm not trying to win a popularity contest. I want true deliverance for myself and for those that I hold near and dear to my heart. When you visit my site and read my words, just know that the hard truth comes from a place of love. This process is a hard one but it's a necessary journey to get to the place that God has prepared for us. Remember, outer beauty is only skin deep, but inner beauty is the precious gem that gives us fortitude. 

Proverbs 31: 25-26 Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in the time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
