Are we truly allowed to be beautiful? Allowed to love ourselves or find our own flaws? Are we allowed to live on this earth without criticizing or judging? Are we allowed to think to ourselves, "Wow. Today I am beautiful by just being me." The answer is clearly yes, yes we are. God allows us to soar. Allows us to search for our true selves among his love and grace. And in cases where you feel lost, he is always there to remind you of his constant greatness. Some of this probably wont make sense but whenever I'm feeling down, I turn up the music, dance around, and allow myself to truly become one with God. So what does this all have to do with being allowed to love yourself? Well, it means you're allowed to wake up in the morning and think about what beautiful attributes that God has given you. You're allowed to think about how God has influenced your life and how you can use him to grow stronger in any situation. And when you're clearly reminiscing on the past, the only thoughts of how you got to where you wanted to be today were for your benefit. I believe that there are times when we're allowed to cry, allowed to believe in ourselves, allowed to believe in others, be slow speakers and quick listeners. I believe the trials and tribulations that we all go through are only to make us more like Christ: and isn't Christ beautiful? It's never about allowing one to value how much you're worth but rather to allow Christ to show you the value of your worth. Anyway, If you're going to love, love well and love for a purpose.
