I find myself worrying immensely about what other people think of me and somehow my brain blocks all traces of the fact that God affirms and approve me in His word. Arrgh...my brain seemingly needs a rewire. I will be walking alone and I feel that everybody who is sitting and watching me pass by has something to think or say about me. It gets me thinking, questioning...why do we doubt our potential so much? It would seem that we have brainwashed ourselves into thinking that no one can ever love ALL of us. God so desperately wants us to be satisfied with our selves especially with the way we are physically made up. I am working on this so badly. What helps is claiming the promises found in his word that speaks to how much He loves me. I will share a few:
^{Psalm 139:13-16} Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
      you formed me in my mother's womb.
   I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
      Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
      I worship in adoration—what a creation!
   You know me inside and out,
      you know every bone in my body;
   You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
      how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
   Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
      all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
   The days of my life all prepared
      before I'd even lived one day. (Message)

 

Jeremiah 31:3Amplified Bible (AMP) 

The Lord appeared from of old to me [Israel], saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.

1 John 4:7-10

The Message (MSG)

God Is Love

 ^7-10My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn't know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can't know him if you don't love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God.
