Day 19- A self-love celebration
I wanted this book to be empowering, encouraging, and inspiring to each and every woman who read it. Giving myself to you in the most honest way possible meant that I had to share things that I struggle with and just hope that it connected with something you have felt in your life at sometime or another. This subject is what I wake up and battle with every single day. How do I love myself as a whole? Especially when there are a million things I hate about myself. This aspect of our life is vital in a growing relationship with Christ. We are lovely and we are loveable. God adores us and charms us everyday in this enchanting courtship we have with Him. He made me just the way I am for a reason...flower child, light hearted, tall, a bit out spoken and unique in all of my own ways. I am me and there is no one else like me... and that is comforting. Although finding that place in your life where you can state exactly what you are and feel no shame is an intricate task. If you take away nothing else from this collection of writings please consider adopting the ceremony of celebrating the love you have for yourself everyday. I want us to even parade about sometimes and praise our talents, beauty, and love that we as women of Christ were blessed with. We deserve this and God wants us to see ourselves the way that He does. Perfect in our imperfections.
You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you. –Song of Solomon 4:7
Lord, Celebrate with us today the love you have for us and teach us how we can achieve that same love for ourselves. Continue to show us that love is a choice and we have the option to bathe in self-acceptance or self-pity. Help us to always choose self-acceptance and not only to accept, but also to adore the creation You have made in us.
