God Sees The BIG In You


I’ve battled with low self-esteem and I’m still working on myself. I never really enjoyed looking at myself in the mirror because I felt too ugly and below standard. I never looked up while walking and I always spoke with a very low voice. My hands could never leave each other as I couldn’t stop fidgeting in public. It was that bad! But I thank God for changing my life as all that is now fading away into the past.

However, there are a lot of people who struggle with inferiority complex. Although you may see yourself as a product of your present condition, God only sees you for the mighty works He created you to accomplish. He is only seeing the painted portrait; you’re seeing yourself in progress. And although the colors and methods may not seem so pleasing, there’s a masterpiece coming up!

Let’s take a look at Gideon in the Bible (Judges 6-7). He was the least of his household which was the least in all of Israel, so he was like ‘the least of them all’ (supported by facts too!). And he lived liked that. He never saw himself as being capable of anything at all. But when the angel of the Lord met him, he called him a brave and mighty man! The angel wasn’t seeing the least man but the warrior God created him to be whom brought 40years of peace to Israel!

You may be seeing yourself as the least in the entire world but God only sees the success He created you to be. And that’s all that matters! Beauty is vain, so stop thinking life is all about chasing beauty in bottles. God wants you to live the incredible life He has in plan for you.

Never see yourself as little… God sees only the BIG in you!

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.

How Much Does Jesus Love You?

Image
We are humans and we know that we are limited in our abilities so we make provisions for such. We can call it the ‘human factor’ or ‘human error’ or whatever we want to call it. When it comes to the subject of love, we tend to also limit ourselves and also place people in our lives on different scales. One will hear questions such as ‘How much do you love me?’ or ‘If you love me then prove it!’ or ‘Do you even love me anymore?’ or ‘I’m sorry. Please don’t leave me.’ I had this mentality too. I could go the extra mile for only a very few set of people who I felt were worth it. I didn't believe that a girl like me could ever be truly and fully loved. This isn't an easy thing to carry along with you into Christianity where you’re told and you read it in your Bible and you’re expected to believe in an all-loving God who will never leave you nor forsake you… in a God who will always show up and will always forgive no matter what… in an everyday kind of lov...

While We're Waiting

James 5:7-8  “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.  You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”     Time after time, school goes on a really long break and I have to travel back home. I end up staying at for months and I'm always complaining of the same old thing that plagues most of us: BOREDOM!       I have nothing to do for fun, hardly any friends around and there's always a chore to do which all bores me to tears.      However, someone said something in a Church Class that caught my attention. He said "We're bored because we don't want to think and work. We can't complain of boredom when we're busy".
