It is so easy to fall into the cycle of self judgement. There are so many images and cultural opinions being launched at us constantly. Subconsciously they can creep up and begin trying to form our thoughts and definition of self.
When we notice negative self judgement sneaking into our thought life it is time to
PUMP THE BRAKES and stop getting into agreement with these thoughts!
When we begin judging ourselves and making lists of all the things that are wrong with us we are simply being FAITHLESS and self reliant in these moments. We are saying WE know better than God. In those moments we are also acting or putting into action (by focusing and repeating such thoughts, then behaving as if they were fact) a choice to believe that our thoughts are higher than God's thoughts. We are criticizing the unique and vert PURPOSEFUL way God 'knit us together'.
In the bible it doesn't say God tripped, spilled a bunch of paint colors together that randomly landed on a hunk of clay and THAT became us. No! He older us, He knit us, He knows, planned and created EVERY detail. Let's all stop listening the the lies of the enemy and turn our focus back to worshipping God, and celebrating EVERY one of His creations...including ourselves!
Fight the lies with God's TRUTH!
