GLITTER DUST OF MY MIND. SOLILOQUY.
As I walked my way to work this morning, in my mind it kept bothering me, I felt like it wasn't a day that I looked pretty. Or let's just say, it felt like it's a bad hair day! Then He rebuked me and the spirit of insecurity lurking behind me. The song playing on my phone was Beautiful in my Eyes. Isn't that so amazing? He said, "You will always be Beautiful in my Eyes" That is a wonderful assurance from the Lord, gives me no right to question that. Beautiful people NEVER GET BAD HAIR DAYS nor BAD MORNINGS! I always wake up on the good side of the bed! This note is specially made for all my beautiful girlfriends! There are times in our lives that we end up questioning our own personal capacity as well our beauty. It is quite a common situation for everyone. This is also due to the fact that we always tend to compare ourselves with others. The truth is, there will always be people better than you are and people lesser than you are. Here are a few key points that I personally felt that will aid you to fight INSECURITIES IN YOUR LIFE. 1 THE ULTIMATE POWER OF APPRECIATION. I do not mean it for yourself only, I mean it for everything. Learn to appreciate beauty in everything and anything. Learn to appreciate people around you being created beautiful for you to love. For thyself, learn to know how wonderful you are being created to be an amazing person. 2 THE VALUE OF PRAISE. Honestly, I praise people a lot. I always do this as soon as it comes to my head and as soon as I see something great. Learn to praise people you love. When you stare and look at them in the eye, you see how beautiful their face is, tell them and not keep it to yourself. Your partner definitely needs to hear it. Learn to praise friends. I am fond of my friends, never fails; I tell them how great they look in what they are wearing. I message special girlfriends in the morning to remind them how beautiful they are for me, even if their boyfriends or husbands do not tell them that. Learn to praise people for what they do. I believe how important it is to let people hear how much you value the things they do, may it be at work or at any given situation. Give to others what they are due; it will make them very very happy. 3 THE GRACE OF CHANGE. We know we are beautiful as we are. We are content of how we are but it shouldn't stop you to be satisfied. Learn the importance of improvement and change. The road to excellence in all areas of your life. Some married people or some who are in a relationship, since they are content, they stop and be satisfied. It is alright to be content, yes, but the desire to be excellent has to be greater. From glory to glory. Learn the importance of making yourself more and more beautiful. May it be for your husband, for your loved ones, for your self, setting as an example. Beauty is skin deep, true. Deeply rooted beauty radiates and gives you a glow. When people notice change, they always start to wonder, "what is RIGHT with you?" rather than ask, "what is WRONG with you?" and from there, they are encouraged. 4 THE SECRET TO ACCEPTANCE. This is never easy because we are living in a world of a booming fashion sense, a generation that defines thin is sexy, model like figures are perfect, BARBIES are real. In the world we live in, beauty is fixated on norms and dictated by society. Learn to look at yourself with pride. Think beautiful. Feel beautiful. Know beautiful. You often hear the line; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This doesn't mean you just tend to rely on others and think for you how beautiful you are. You have to know it first more than anyone else should. Most importantly, know that God is your beholder. He loves you as a pretty bride walking the aisle to the altar. He loves you and he looks at you with all respect and with all adoration. 5 THE COMMITMENT OF LETTING GO. We are not bulletproof and we know there will always be a time, you understand this now and this will work for you. Yet to warn you, there will come another day you feel the exact same feeling of insecurity all over again. Fight it with commitment of Let it GO and let GOD. Pray and tell God of how you feel. Then do your part! Insecurity is a really really bad spirit. Imagine it like an ugly slimy green monster behind you, on a piggy back ride clinging! Imagine it with tiny sharp talons and nails trying to penetrate it to your head feeding you all the UGLINESS he can think of. Pray for it to leave you alone. As soon as you feel it's trying to come near you and wants to walk holding hands with you, shove it off and tell it to go away. There is real power in commanding it to leave you alone, you are more powerful and you have control. Always remember, it is a day to day commitment. Few days from now, weeks or months, you will feel it again. But remember the keypoints. To APPRECIATE, TO PRAISE, TO CHANGE, TO ACCEPT, TO COMMIT! Now, smile and tell yourself you are most beautiful, in your eyes, in his eyes and everyone else's! BEAUTIFUL MORNINGS! |
