Loving me

Gone are the days when I used to believe that I would never measure up to God's standard unless I toiled and toiled and toiled. So I toiled and toiled and toiled. Still God seem like he had a merit system that was designed to keep me out of heaven's sight. Needless to say, I did not take that lightly!

Since I began to know God from my own perspective, I have been unlearning this nonsense description of the Creator. Like everybody else, I am a child of God… full-fledged and nothing I do can change that.

Well I if for no other reason than this, I have every right to joy and happiness and so I celebrate who I am by loving myself as who I am. Knowing that God’s love for me cannot grow cold makes loving myself even more and more blissful.


Granted there are some times I forget to remember who I really am and who I will always be. The good thing is, I am much better than I was yesterday and a lot of those previous yesterdays.

I thank you God, for my zeal to know you better; to trust you more earnestly and to let you love me forever. That really helped me in reaching out and accepting you and your love; especially since I know for sure that I can truly be myself with you on any given day- no ifs, ands, or buts. Nothing is impossible, I’ll say!

Thank you for making it possible to love myself dearly. Loving myself is the most wonderful thing I have done for myself. Thank God that it was not too late to start dating myself. Slowly yet steadily I removed all the blocks that I once had built between Love and myself; between God and myself.


Auctioning my life to the lowest bidder is a risk not worth taking again because now I believe my true worth when I look at myself through God’s eyes! Awesome…Priceless!

Solomon says that, “it is dangerous to be concerned with what people think of me.” I think it is even more dangerous to let someone else define God to me, or is it for me, and to dictate to me what God’s plan for my life is. Phew!


And so I continue to do my best to stay tuned and connected to God and with God!
