So I've noticed I tend to be really hard on myself. I'm super critical of myself. During my quiet time today, I read in a Devotional and it said, "God sees you as perfect." I thought to myself,"Kim, you are no where near perfect." Then the words GRACE and LOVE came to mind. Through God's GRACE and LOVE, God sees me as perfect. Jesus died not only for God's glory but to save me from living a life in debt to sin.
I then realized that my view of myself is distorted. God created me to be who I am. I am his child. God chose me to be adopted into his family. My favorite verse in the whole bible is Song of Songs 4:7 and it says," All beautiful you are my darling; there is no flaw in you." I've been thinking about this verse and it made me think about my image and how people see me. I've come to the conclusion that my image comes from God and that he created me in his image. My worth doesn't come from others and their thoughts.
That all got me thinking about Love. Can it be real? YES IT IS REAL! God loved me so much that he sent his one and only son to die for me. Wow! Wait, it gets better! Jesus is my eternal husband and he loves me just as I am! Double Wow!
Three years ago, I entered into a relationship with Jesus and it is the best decision I've ever made. Jesus is my knight in shining armor and he has already rescued me! He is the best man I know. It is also very comforting to know that no matter how big of a goober I might be, he still loves me. What an amazing love!
