Chapter 18 - It's okay to like yourself

Scripture reading Psalm 139-1-24

Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings. Pslam 17:8

God wants you to feel good about yourself. He knows you're not perfect and you're going to make mistakes, but God is not focusing on your weaknesses or what you've done wrong. God is looking at what you're doing right. He may not be pleased with every decision you have made, but understand this extremely important truth: God is pleased with you.

“ You didn’t Choose God; He chose you”. This is the biggest favor in my life. Before i was ever formed in my mother’s womb, God saw me. He knows that im not perfect n i will make mistake.
I have bit perfectionist in my character, so when things turn out not in my way, i’ll feel sad, so when i make a mistake, i’ll feel guilty, sometime I run away from God, but God never give up on me, He always chases me back, His voice keeps remind me to turn back to Him, His spirit always guide me the way back to Him, He loves me. This is the favor of God, He never let me go, i always in His mind, and He is the most almighty God. He chose me to be His daughter. I shall always give thanks to my Lord.

i like one sentence written by Joel. "You have royal blood flowing through your vein". i love this sentence man... through these word, it reminds me that i'm princess of God! im beautiful and gorgeous in His eyes! yea... After reading this chapter i know sometimes i might look at myself with a different ways. i nearly forgot about it. when i look into the mirror, sometimes i will think negatively bout the size of my body... God forgive me for my foolishness!! i do not look as you look at me... from today on, i will change eventhough im big size, so what? i have my own beautiness!! haha! this chapter really reminds me on something.. if you want to change the people surrounding you, firstly you must change the inner of yourself!! praise the Lord!!

I loves this bible verse so much. Psalm 17:8 keep me as an apple of the eye:hide me in the shadow of your wings. God will hide me under His wing. I have to accept what i am, learn to love myself. You are not surprising God. God made you. He know all about me. Even worse He still love me. God thank You for your kindness and grace. I am brand new everyday. He is not looking at my weakness but on my heart. I am God Princess..

god is in the process of changing me=)..
"If God approves you, why don't you accept and approve yourself?"

God is truly a LOVING father.=)
I feel so touch after i read this chapter, it gave me alot of courage to change myself, my attitude and learn how to accepting myself bits by bits..
God never force us to change but what he see is a genuine heart to follow his heart=)..no matter what i did wrong, he understands as though he is telling me "is okay" then embrace me..=)..
i am an apple in his eyes...
