September 25, 2012 - From my morning devotions

Good morning fam, Sometimes things are TOOO good not to repost. It's totally the opposite concept of re-gifting. :) BUT.........it kind of is a re-gift. This so blessed me and was a gift. I want to give you a gift this morning and share how this touched me. Following yesterday's blog, I find that sometimes we can really be soooooo hard on ourselves. But the person we are closest to and have the deepest relationship with is us. :) Hope this blesses you - PK You Have a Relationship with Yourself - Joyce Meyer Did it ever occur to you that you have a relationship with yourself? You may have never given it much thought, but you spend more time with yourself than anyone else, and it's vital that you get along well with you because you are the one person you never get away from. We should love ourselves, not in a selfish, self-centered way that produces a lifestyle of self-indulgence, but in a balanced, godly way that affirms God's creation as essentially good and right. We may be flawed by unfortunate experiences we've gone through, but that doesn't mean we're worthless and good-for-nothing. We must have the kind of love for ourselves that says, "I know God loves me, so I can love what God chooses to love. I don't love everything I do, but I accept myself because God accepts me." We must develop the kind of mature love that says, "I believe God is changing me daily, but during this process, I will not reject what God accepts. I'll accept myself as I am right now, knowing that I will not always remain this way."
