On all levels not only physically till someone asked HOW THIS PRECIOUS PERFECTION OF MINE LOOKED LIKE. I had no glue. NONE. Ever since I am ok surely there are days where I wish I would improve faster but then I am human, arent I ;-)) Be kind with you, all parts of you.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241317042459836045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529408451442066706.post-66289277536771845562010-04-19T00:54:48.459-05:002010-04-19T00:54:48.459-05:00So many women feel this way about their bodies.......So many women feel this way about their bodies.....thanks for reminding us we are all beautiful children of God and he loves us as we are.........:-) HugsBerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03024565921761129108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529408451442066706.post-84480620233164638492010-04-18T20:17:55.110-05:002010-04-18T20:17:55.110-05:00Thank you for this reminder...I spend a lot of tim...Thank you for this reminder...I spend a lot of time at war with my body, hating everythng it was designed to do...because of what he did to me.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432157510458184788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529408451442066706.post-89564929143378232052010-04-18T17:49:28.651-05:002010-04-18T17:49:28.651-05:00This made me think quite a bit about God's exp...This made me think quite a bit about God's expectation of our bodies. He doesn't expect perfection (or at least, the man-made ideal of perfection) because to him, we are already perfect. God doesn't care that I have 30 lbs to lose, or that I would look hideous in a bikini. <i>"God sees who I am without actually seeing the physical me. I need to start thinking about that when I feel the need to demean myself because of my looks. God wants me to take care of me, because it is what he would do. God wants me to be healthy. God doesn't want me to hold myself to the standards of others, to hate the body that he gave me and to punish it in the ways that I do."</i><br /><br />Lily what a powerful message you received. I pray all that read here who struggle in this area (as I) will heed to these words. <br /><br />Dear one, I pray that God gives you the strength to face whatever comes your way these coming weeks. Blessings and much hugs.Just Be Realhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815210059310140144noreply@blogger.com
