“The biggest thing is being comfortable in your skin..being comfortable with who you are in the Lord..Amen..for the word says that we are to grow in the grace and knowledge of Him..2 Peter 3:18..Amen..for I think when we stop working on us..and who we are as individuals before the Lord..and we are not kind to us and who we are as individuals before the Lord..than a lot of who we are never becomes who the Lord intends for us to be..Amen..for each of us the bible says must work out our own salvation with fear and trembling..Philippians 2:12-13..Amen..but working us out and who we are is a daily task at hand..Amen..because so many things pull on us and daily so..so many things grab and want to grab our attention in life..and we get drawn in..and sometimes without fail to ever realize we are drawn in..and drawn in to what the world says we should be..drawn in to what the world says we should look like..how we should live..what type of hair would should have..what type of clothes we should wear..literally everything..Amen!”

“But my point of it all is that if we fail to see us as God sees us..and if we fail to love ourselves..not in some self-loathing way..but with the love of the Lord..love ourselves..then we fail in every other area..because if we don’t like who we are..what we look like..if we don’t feel comfortable in our own skin so to speak..then we back away from opportunity..we back away from stepping out from a comfort zone in life..we back away from good relationships and friendships..we build walls up so no one can get through..Amen..but again I say this because the bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God..Romans 10:17…Amen..and words as we know it are powerful..Hebrews 4:12..Amen!”

“So I ask us all this morning what are we saying to us?..what are we speaking to ourselves?..how do we talk to us with that inner voice?..Amen..because what we say guys if we fail to know or realize..is what we live out in our lives..and in our world in which we live..Amen..so I would beg and plead with us all..to simply be kind to us..be kind to yourself..don’t speak in any way to yourself that you wouldn’t speak to someone else..because whether you fail to see or understand we are hearing us..Amen..and in a turn we live that out..in our actions..in our walk..in our speech..in our relationships..in our friendships..Amen..but you know what’s great?..God fearfully and wonderfully made us..Psalm 139:14..Amen..for no one in this entire world is like you or me..Amen..so let be unique..let us be rare..let us be kind to us..loving who we are..every blemish..every flaw..every mistake..every scar..everything..just love who Jesus has made for us my friends to be..Amen..for then we will be living and living well in all areas of our lives..living as they say our best lives..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
