YOU Are Beautiful – Yes YOU!

Do you have a thinking spot where memories and ideas come to you?

Maybe it’s in your hammock, curled up by the fireplace, or out in nature somewhere.

This morning I was thinking about my time at Training Camp a year and a half ago.

We were about halfway through training and I was sitting in a worship session with my squad. 

I was wracked with emotions that morning, dealing with old demons of comparison and belonging.

I’d broken down and was crying, and then one of my squad mates leaned over and he said, ‘Patricia, I feel like the Lord wants me to give you the word ‘Beautiful’ because that is how He sees you.

I started crying allll over again! This time, because of a heart warming joy!

Jesus knew exactly what I needed at that moment and that started a road to healing that I am still walking today.

I still struggle and fall into the trap occasionally, but then I remind myself of my identity in Christ and whose opinion truly matters and those negative emotions lose their grip.

I want to let you know today that you are beautiful too! Some of you won’t believe it, but I hope you can see through that lie and grab a hold of the truth!
