”God surveyed all he had made and said, “I love it!” For it pleased him greatly. Genesis 1:31 TPT
Happy Monday lovelies! As we are learning how to yield our minds to Holy Spirit, I want us to deal with the topic of depression that comes from how you value yourself – your image. Growing up, I was skinny, hated my nose and forehead, didn’t like the fact that my hair was a kinkier Afro and Valerie’s natural hair would fall on her shoulders so beautifully. I wasn’t happy about many things on my body, why do I look like this and not like that? Now because we had a lot of magazines at home, I always thought , l should look a certain way to be accepted by people – I didn’t know – all l needed to do was to accept myself why? because when He created me, He said , “this is good!” I love the TPT version that I quoted above, He said “I love it!”
Note that God said that after a survey! He looked closely at creation, at you and l and said, “I LOVE IT!” If God loves the way I look, how dare I dislike it? God placed value on His creation by giving His review so that kills every other societal review instantly! Do you believe you are beautiful? So beautiful you outshine the stars! That you are so handsome God is like WOW my son really is fearfully and wonderfully made? See, it’s either this truth or the lie that says , “I’m not that beautiful” According to what and whose standards? The answer is the – world not the WORD!
Beauty is created, value is placed. So that’s why wordly beauty standards seem to keep evolving because man is creative, man wants to keep manifesting ideas that are better than the last , it’s new edition of this, better than the last edition of that . When it comes to value, God has already placed it. Meaning even if one man arises and says man is nothing, he is already a liar! If one woman rises and says , mankind can be boxed in one with animals, they lie! Why? Because the value of man is not something anyone has the liberty to create, note, liberty not ability. We can be able to say but we are not at liberty , we do not have the right to say whatever we want , a review has already been passed . This means that all who devalue man-kind are already in direct conflict with God. Stay away from such people!
Many people commit suicide because someone passed a review on what they didn’t create. People are depressed because they don’t have the curves their friends have, they lock themselves up, cooking themselves in creams because they don’t match the standards of one silly boy! Can’t we see? Don’t we get it? We are already valued! We are already reviewed with 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ just like how you check for reviews when shopping online! You don’t have to scroll when it comes to me, the comment that matters is above, IT SAYS HE LOVED IT! Vanessa, God loves how you look! The greatness of that statement! God placed value on me when l was just but dust!
I am a loved product. So what if my nose is bigger than yours, we came from the same God! So what if you have a darker skin, it doesn’t mean you are excluded from the sacrifice of the cross! I had to learn to stop commenting on people’s looks because I was projecting my weak self image on them. Oh this topic is gonna be longish but we must change the mindset! Starting with your mindset towards you! If I catch you saying you’re ugly? I will call you out! If I hear you say you’re useless, I will really call you out! Your language! You cannot be depressed because of hips! They will not matter in heaven! They surely don’t matter to many people, people are too stressed about economy to worry about number 8 or whether you are yellow or pink!
Now Read the review again! Let’s meet tomorrow! Remember, you’re ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
