Fall In Love

I don’t mean this to sound prideful or arrogant in any unhealthy way, but I really love myself. I don’t know when that understanding came about, as I don’t think I was born or grew up feeling that way; but I’ve had a few discussions as of late on the topic and it seems a lot of people don’t care for who they are. I get the feeling that they just don’t really see the full picture, and I gotta be honest, this makes me really sad. I think we can all stop and recognize God’s mastery in in creation, but I fully believe that there’s something to be said about recognizing and realizing God’s mastery in his creation of YOU. That the same breath that spoke the universe into existence, spoke life into you as well. Can’t we celebrate that fact. I see all kinds of people and in everyone I see something different that sets them apart from others. Someone may have a more beautiful smile than anyone else, or their hands may carry a strength that is unique, or their cheek line could be staggering, or they could even have the most gentle and honest brow. Recognizing the beauty in those around you makes life that much more romantic and lovely, but I don’t think you can do that until you recognize the beauty in yourself. God made you. If the beautiful things we create are merely a reflection of God’s creative nature, then how much more beautiful is God’s creation? We as mankind are capable of tearing things apart, and destroying what is beautiful. I guess my point in all this is- STOP. Take an honest look around you. There’s a lot of things that we screw up, but if you can look past that to what was originally created, and the purpose behind it, you can see some really amazing things. See the complexities of that bamboo plant in your living room, or the tomato in your fridge, or those amazing eyes that you see in the mirror. You were created beautifully! Know that and maybe you’ll start to fall in love. We have a wonderful maker, you can count on the fact that he made you wonderful. Find some peace. And fall in love.
