Loving Yourself Through God's Eyes

There are times when no matter how hard we try, we feel unable to love ourselves. In such times, we feel its so much easier to love other people. After all, they're not with us 24 hours in a day We don't see all their weaknesses. We don't have to live with their regrets. And we're not the ones who have to carry their hurts.

In such times, we feel overwhelmed. We don't have enough strength to accept this person we see in the mirror everyday.

We don't have enough love to love her. We don't have enough strength to uplift her when she couldn't believe in herself anymore.

During such times, I've known of a way to help you continue improving your relationship with yourself. And that way is to see yourself through God's own eyes.

In God's eyes, there is no judgment, there is only acceptance. In God's eyes, there is no pain too hard to bear nor weaknesses too weak to be overcome by His insurmountable strength.

God can embrace us wholeheartedly, opening us up yet sustaining us and healing us at the same time. God sees all our potentials. God sees our light when all that we can see are our shadows.

God sees this person who falls but who has the power to get up again and again. God sees this person who gets hurt but does not become hard or bitter, only softer, more resilient to change.

God sees you. God cherishes you. God's eyes love you more than anyone could ever love you as you really are.

I love this post. It is so true. How many times have I heard friends put themselves down, and I want to tell them they are special. And I’m not immune to this, but I am light years from what I used to be.

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life. Your words have really been a pat on my shoulder and a hug rolled in one. I am now in a year long relationship and life has been treating me well. It is not a perfect relationship, we do have our shares of ups and downs but we come out of each as a better individual and we grow and learn together through those past mistakes. I just... } – Feb 05, 3:53 PM

faith { Hi joyce, i feel that im at the lowest point of my life...late last year i found out that my bf ( for 6 months) is still going steady with her prior gf. i was crushed after learning that he fooled me for 6 months that we are together. but since i love him so much, i forgave him with his promise that he will end things with her and come back to me clean slate. but he did not come back at all. he said he was empty after breaking up with her (doubt if they really did break... } – Jan 29, 2:20 PM
Tanya { Dear Joyce, I don't have a husband who physically abuses me but i have one who does so verbally and emotionally. He doesn't care whether we be in public places like malls, offices etc he just feels he needs to, in his own terms, "vent out his spleen". He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
