In this complex world we're living in, there are so many THINGS we attach ourselves to. We reach for THINGS that make us feel good about ourselves, no matter how damaging it maybe to our daily living......

THINGS become conclusively controlling, even a necessity in our day to day activities.
When we become dependent on THINGS to reaffirm us of our worth, purpose or existence, we loose our sense of inward identity.

We attract to us what we project outwardly. Why do we attract certain type of people to us...they share the same familiar spirits or once did. Those same luring characteristics we were and are accustom to dealing with and we easily allow them back into our lives. When we become aware of the patterns associated with these vices we can better maneuver our way around them.

Sometimes loving outwardly causes us to ignore our inward knowing, telling us something isn't right with this person or THING.

THINGS in this life are temporal....they don't last, nor do they give us the lasting satisfaction we crave. Within us all lies the need for LOVE & ACCEPTANCE....How we tend to go after it varies from person to person...but the underlined factor is it strongly exist within us all...

Take a moment to ask yourself; "What do I reach out for when in need of undying love?" For some it maybe a pet, others a dear friend, a spouse, sexual acquaintances, being in the arms of a caring parent....curling up with a good movie and your favorite comfort foods....working out, getting hair/nails and toes done or going shopping, even acts of service in the community or house of worship.

There are many THINGS we reach OUT to for relief, but rarely look inward for........
There is so much wealth stored up within us that we take for granted...so many valuable sources of talent and wisdom, hidden behind mountains of shame we wear as outer garments for one reason or the other.....

We mask our beauty, because of a moment of indiscretion in our past...We attempt to move pass them, yet we continue to carry them around like baggage we never through in the trash...
Underlined self loathing of guilt has stripped many of us from living a more satisfying existence.

Every last one of us has GREATNESS within. Potential to soar and ability to achieve remarkable feats........We all don't have to be known celebrities or athletes to leave our mark....In the eyesight of God we are more spectacular than the plants we know in the sky as stars....

As we stand in front of the mirror to behold the image we see...the real identity comes when we can say I'm in love with the TRUE INNER ME....We may all not measure up to the status of a supermodel...we may not all be shaped like a coke bottle...our teeth might not be straight or as white as snow...But we all have unique qualities to share with one another & the world for sure.

One thing is for certain, we will leave behind this shell of a person we've acquainted ourselves with over the years. Lives will be affected and there will be many tears....lets not wait until we're dead and gone for kind words & love to be expressed about us that we should have heard while we lived.

Lets make it our priority to LOVE OURSELVES the way Jesus did....It's okay to say I love me and all God created me to be. We no longer have to wait for that significant event to accredited us being loved....Everyday we take a breath is evidence of Who's Loving Us.

Now it's time for us to stand up despite how we feel and openly admit, "I'M IN LOVE WITH ME and I AM WORTHY OF TRUE LOVE!"
