"For do I now persuade men, or God?
or do I seek to please men?
for if I yet pleased men,
I should not be the servant of Christ."
Galatians 1:10


Many of us battle with insecurities of some kind.
Now, more than ever,
it is apparent each day when we turn on our
televisions or glance through magazines.
The media tries to influence who we are
and how we should live.
There is no doubt we are living in challenging times.
Is it any wonder that we have a world
filled with so much emptiness and confusion?
This leaves us asking ourselves,
"Who am I?"

Well, we are a unique creation of God!
And the more we dance for the world
and everyone's approval,
the further it takes us from our authentic self,
and ultimately from God.

Growth and acceptance is a gradual process
for everyone.
Learn to accept yourself and your faults.
Learn to love the person
looking back at you in the mirror,
just as God loves you.
After all, He made you in His own image!
And if He accepts you,
surely you can learn to love and accept yourself.

We will never have all the answers to life.
But we can have life more abundant,
when we look to Jesus!
He will restore us from the inside......out!

This is a brand new day God has blessed
us with, and with His love and help,
we can live a more pleasant life.
We can look at ourselves and smile,
because the reflection of Christ Jesus will
shine through!
And, my dear friend........

GOD DOESN'T MAKE JUNK!
