Created Woman, Jan_Feb 2013 New Beginnings & Loving through Philanthropy

Page 65

(Now, if you’re lucky enough to be loving yourself the way God loves you, then I’m sure you have a high-quality love feast for humanity going on, and God bless you for it. We need more of you!) So here’s my New Year’s challenge. Rather than looking at the scale or in the mirror for things to improve about yourself, let’s do this: Amp up the grace and mercy for yourself. Celebrate what’s fabulous about you. Cheer yourself on. Find joy in what you’re doing well. Fall in love with the awesome creation God has crafted in the unique, one-of-a-kind masterpiece that you are. As you do these things, your level of love for others will increase as well. That attitude transfers and brings love to a hurting humanity. Love “you” so that you can love others. Honestly, this creative, unlimited, awesome God made you. He delights in you and rejoices over you with singing. So tune in to what He’s saying. It’s the very thing that gives us the ability to do what He’s asking us to do for others.
