Have you ever looked at something and said "oh, that's so pretty?" I know I have. What about when you look in the mirror? Is that what you say to yourself? So many times, I looked in the mirror and said just the opposite. My self esteem was at an all time low. There was nothing that (so I thought) would ever get me back to the place where I knew God had created me to be. Life happens so often, but life doesn't have to get you. We are so loved by our Heavenly Father and once we realize that, you will look at yourself in a whole different manner. You have to want to get there. And believe you me, it doesn't come easy. After years and years of beating yourself up and enduring the mental abuse and anguish that has been inflicted on you (or that you allowed to happen to yourself) you start questioning God asking Him is this the way it's going to be? The key to letting it all go was forgiveness for me. That was one of the hardest things that I had to do. I had years of hatred and bitterness built up in my heart and mind and that made it difficult to allow what God had for me to manifest. Once I prayed, forgave and then asked God to forgive me for all that I did, I could see the transformation. It didn't happen over night and believe you me, I see a difference every single day. I have my moments, but I serve a God that is willing and able to help us it every single day. So now, when I look in the mirror I'm not being vain when I say..."oh, how pretty." I see myself as God sees me.
