Matthew 22:37-39
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b
How do you see yourself:
As God sees you?
How do you see others;
As God sees them?
Can you accept that being just who you are at this moment,
with the way that you’re feeling
is fine?
Because that is the way God loves you. Just
As you are.
Are you in your own eyes a fix-it or fixer upper or
Something Beautiful ?
What gives you the log in the eye?
Is this a perception that you see yourself as others do?
Or as you think you must be to achieve your best you?
Does experience through the years make you less acceptable to God
Or more acceptable?
Or are you , just as the story goes, just right. If so, according to whom? Beautiful
The way you are . At this moment . At the present moment. How do you know? Am I
Now more able to accept myself (and others) as I happen to be
Rather than as somebody thought I should be
With a Log in my eye.
