There can be plenty of reasons that we are so hard on ourselves. But let’s keep in mind that we shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves. We should do our best to embrace every part us. You. Even those things that are not so great.
I’m a major worrier and I know it can dictate a lot of my emotional behavior. Which can drive my friends and family crazy. Though despite this personal shortcoming, I know that I am a great organizer and couldn’t function if I didn’t have that as a part of my makeup. I just like having a schedule and a routine for myself. I could go on and on about what I’m not great at but that would only make things worse.
Here’s a scripture we should always keep in mind before we get too down on ourselves, Psalm 139:14 – I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Remember its ok, again, its ok to feel vulnerable, but know that you are created by the master and every part of you is something that God is proud to call his own.
For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation. – Psalm 149:4
