Looking Good...

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not been satisfied with what you have seen? some of your thought may have been:

nobody will ever want to see me like this...
I wish i had a better body...
Why do i look like this?
Will my future spouse still love me or even like me due to my imperfections?



Psalm 139:14-16 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me
were written in your book before one of them came to be.

I have grown up knowing that God made everything beautiful but i was comparing myself to the world standards. I would fail time after time, and try to look like the world wanted me too. But that was never good enough. Over the years, i would put myself down because i didn't look like that perfect model. My self-confidence levels were always very low. Also it seemed like my self-confidence was on a roller coaster. One minute i would be on top of the world, but when i would see something that i didn't have, there goes my self confidence diving head first into the ground.

For the first time ever today, i looked in the mirror and i was really glad with what i saw. Just the thing i have known all along (God created everything beautiful) finally clicked. I don't wonder why or have doubts about what i look like. It was such a wonderful thing for me to go through. Self-confidence has been my weakness and it finally feels like i have overcome that.

Also, the other thing that i may be lacking is complementing others. Not so much so i can get it back, but just knowing that i helped somebody else's self-confidence.. the more i do this, the better my self-confidence will be.
