Sometimes it is so hard to love ourselves.

When I focus on this topic I am not

talking about someone who thinks they

are better than everyone else or becomes

absorbed in what they want. In fact it is

just the opposite.I am talking about seeing who we

really are. Not the rolls we play, not the job we have,

not even being a mother or father. I am talking about

something much deeper.I believe within each of us

is the most beautiful light you have ever seen! I see this

light as Jesus. Through Jesus we have a heart that has

more love than we can imagine. Why? Because Jesus

is beating within our heart. We could never love

without him, because Jesus is love.We have courage and

perseverance we might not be aware of. Again, this is a gift

from Jesus ,and the Holy Spirit is very much involved.We have

a hope that can help us through any crisis. Why? Because we know

Jesus is with us. We know this world isn't all there is. Finally, we

are beloved children of God. Can there be any thing more joyful ?!

We have much to be grateful for. What is even better- everyone is a

beloved child of God.No matter what religion, race, culture, etc.So-

when we look at who we are - it's wonderful. Don't you agree?
