Think Good of Yourself

Often we can think negative about ourselves because others have programmed us that way by telling us we are not good. In a way we are not good because we are not perfect but no one else is either.

Now we have to program ourselves by realizing that we are not what others have said about us and that we are good in the best way we can. God did create us for a purpose but it does not totally define us. He made us perfect but the world around us made us not think so. We have to get back to God for him to put us back into perfect standing. The person he made us in the beginning. It doesn’t mean that we will not do wrong things or what is called sin however we can overcome it with his help.

The first step is to forgive others who have wronged us by telling us lies and then forgiving ourselves for believing the lies. The second step is to love ourselves in the same manner that God does.

I like the story of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson who was encouraged by his father he could be the best whether it was a quarterback or something else. Whether anyone encourages us or not we must accept what God says about us that we were made perfect. Every day we must meditate on that fact and the more we do so the more we believe it.  I am not saying this because I have arrived in this place of thinking good of myself I really haven’t. One day, one step, one breath I work on it too be what he says that I am.
