Why do I spend so much time comparing myself to everyone I see? Why do I always feel the need to try and "better" myself for people? I judge myself based on how I look and feel. If I like what I see in the mirror, I feel more worthy to be loved by others & more worthy of the Lord's love. When things are going well and when I feel my performance is adequate, I find it easier to accept love and be loved. But when I feel discouraged, I look inward to fix whatever is wrong. Lately, I haven't been feeling worthy of love. Love from my friends and from the Lord. I don't want to keep wasting my time counting calories or trying to figure out ways to change myself. I don't want waste my life worrying about the numbers on a scale. I just want to love myself. I've wasted so much time beating myself up when I could be praising the One who made me with such care. Instead of using my energy to judge myself, I need to redirect it into praising the Lord who made me radiant in His perfect love. I am His masterpiece and I am beautifully and wonderfully made. I am loved perfectly and constantly by the God of the universe.
"I want to be beautiful, make You stand in awe.
Look inside my heart and be amazed.
I want to hear You say, who I am is quite enough.
Just want to be worthy of love and beautiful.
Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me.
Fighting to make the mirror happy.
Trying to find whatever is missing.
Won't you help me back to glory?
You make me beautiful, You make me stand in awe.
You step inside my heart and I am amazed.
I love to hear you say who I am is quite enough.
You make me worthy of love and beautiful."
