Self Acceptance......Be YOU!

When I was little, I was a happy, quiet, shy, reserved little girl. I would even describe myself as painfully shy and awkward. I was always content to just play in my room by myself and make my own fun. I was a daydreamer, could sit for HOURS just daydreaming. As I grew older, I hated this tendency and did everything I could to MAKE myself an extrovert. I wanted to be that popular girl who had tons of friends and confidence. As I have gotten older and experienced more and accomplished more things I was afraid to do, my confidence level grew. The person I WANTED to be I became. Ironically, the more I became the person I created myself to be, the more empty I felt deep down inside. Then all my life trials hit me.....I mean hit me! The last 10 years of my life all the things i went through helped bring me back to my TRUE SELF, not the self I created. God showed me that HE created me EXACTLY the way HE wanted me to be. I was never going to find my purpose and place of true blessing until I came to accept myself as He created me to be. Flaws and all. He makes no mistakes. I am his masterpiece beautifully sculpted. The people who are MEANT to love me and be in my life, will see me as He created me to be. Those who are not meant to be in my life, will not "UNDERSTAND" me and  see me in that light. Until I learned to love myself though (introvert sometimes and extrovert at others), those meant to love me could not see it, cuz I couldn't even see it. So now that I see myself the way God sees me, I feel like the door is now FINALLY open for His true lasting blessings to come my way. I feel like this may be for someone else struggling to find peace with themselves........remember, you are NOT a mistake. You are beautiful just the way you are. The heart that is meant to love you will love you just as YOU ARE, without having to change anything about yourself. Nobody is perfect, we are all human. But the person who is perfect for you, will see you that way. Keep being you....the real you. You are God's masterpiece.....:)
