Attaining the Poised Beauty of Self-Acceptance
How do you attain poised self-acceptance?
1. Accept God's evaluation of you!
Think about it we need accept who we are because of whose we are! John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
God gave his son for who? YOU! So we should accept ourselves!!
Luke 12:27, 28 "Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith."
Can you imagine God loves us so much that he would cast things into the oven, to care for us!! WOW
"YOU ARE a beautiful, precious pattern God intimately created.'
2. Accept God's forgiveness.
God has forgiven us already, accept that and don't feel that he's still holding the sin or guilt over your head. "He accepts me just as I am. He love me unconditionally, and He thinks precious thoughts about me."
John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
God has forgiven us not YOU need to forget it!
Jeremiah 31:3b "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee."
3. Quit comparing yourself to other people!
"No one can take your place and do what you were meant to do."
II Corinthians 10:12 "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise."
God wants you to be your BEST not compare yourself to other people.
I can't be you and you can't be me!
4. Learn to walk as one who will rule someday!
YOU ARE SOMEBODY!! You can do things!!!
5. Take care of the outward self as a person who is somebody.
I Corinthians 6:19-20 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's"
a. Purpose in your heart to do it.
Daniel 1:8 "But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat nor with the wine which he drank."
If you fail to plan then you plan on failing!
b. Have a no-no list of foods.
If there are things you know you should not eat, make a list and follow it!
c. Don't ever eat standing up.
Just because food is left on the plate doesn't mean you have to eat it. So make it a choice NOT to eat while standing!
Remember friend YOU ARE SOMEBODY!!!!
Read Ps 139 and have your mirror there. Tell yourself GOD MADE ME AND I AM SOMEBODY!!!
