That’s a good point. Where my ideal would like to get me versus my self-talk doesn’t always lineup. Self love is a very difficult state to achieve! If we turn to God he is always offering it. But do we claim it? It is difficult to control the “human condition” from day to day. God is really the only answer.

Over the years I have struggled with self image, self esteem, and trust. It led to and fueled my destructive ways of my teens and twenties. God rescued me from that at my lowest point by bringing me an incredible wife. My relationship with God was restored but I turned my anger and bitterness towards those who believed differently than me. From Philistine to Pharisee was what my life turned into. Until the day the Holy Spirit convicted me of my hateful religious ways. He broke me of my judgmental ways and created a heart that is filled with love, compassion and the truth of Jesus. That took 30 years. I’ve learned that my image is not my own but it is the one that God planned and made for me. I pray that we can all align our hearts that way. It is the best! Thanks Sis for taking us on this journey!
