Mistakes by Influence Music


Your relationship with God and your relationship with yourself are inseparable. 

I'll say it a different way: Having a healthy view of yourself and of God go hand in hand.

And not in a "the lower I think of myself, the more I think of God", self- deprecating way. Just no.

Safe is the word that comes to mind.

When you know how safe it is to bring all of you when you talk with God, the more real you are.

When you embrace everything about you - the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful - you don't shame or fear yourself anymore.

You don't have to worry about how God or others perceives you. You don't have to hate yourself to be more spiritual.

You've likely been taught subliminal messages that make you feel hard to love (or directly that you aren't supposed to love yourself) or you've been taught false things about God that confirm how you feel toward yourself.

I'll say it even another way:
As you continue learning about God's love for you, you will love God, and you will learn to love yourself.

It's not that you're perfect, it's that you learn to be comfortable with and accept your imperfection.

Loving yourself is an important part of your healing journey. Amen? 😘

Here's an affirmation for you:
God loves me. I love myself.
1 John 4:19 Psalm 139:14
