Dramas: Loving Me & The Things I Hate About Me


I hate that I'm the one to always reach out...

...that I seem to love harder than ppl seem 2 love me...
...that my heart is as big and as open as it is...and that I can't help but show it...
...that I cry over the sunrise and Kleenex commercials...
...that I am either hot or cold...
...that there is no gray area...
...that I am so expressive...
...that I oftentimes want more for others than they want for themselves...
...that I find it easier to encourage/support others more than I encourage/support myself...
...that I...
...that I still struggle with loving the things I hate about myself.

But because I realize Who created me, I am learning to love me, and all of the things I hate about me…

…because all of these things, are what make me me.

I understand that my heart is open in a world so easily closed off to the warmth of a full heart...

...that people may not know how to love…
…that maybe I can show them how…
...that God gave me arms for reaching…especially for those who pull away…
...that it's my responsibility to teach people how to love me...
…that sometimes, people want more for me than I want for myself…
…that people know they can count on me for encouragement and support…

…I am learning to love me…in spite of me.

To love me just as God created me to be.

Hear My Call - Standing On the Word

Lord, I thank You for Your word and I stand on that word knowing that You began a good work in me and that You will see it through to the end, to perfection. Philippians 1:6


I only want you glorified in all that I do. As I seek to glorify You, this releases from me any pressure to complete anything by my own strength. I know that I am nothing without You, my Creator, my Redeemer. John 14:13


May Your Light continue to shine through me, even when my natural eyes can't see the path illuminated before me because of doubt. Forgive me Lord for even allowing that doubt to begin to consume my mind. Matthew 5:14-16


Right now, I cast away worry, grief, doubt, every insecurity, every feeling of inadequacy and stand in Your presence giving thanks for being the loving, gracious God that You are. Mark 11:23


May others see Your goodness and love through this very situation at this very moment, may You be glorified. *exhales* ^_^
