Weekly bible talk week 2 self acceptance

Week two, and we are discussing self acceptance. Self acceptance is so much more than looking in the mirror and accepting that is you; God's plan for us is to have a healthy lifestyle that we are able to love our selves for who we are. Ephesians 3:17, says may Christ dwell in your hearts through faith. may you be rooted deeply in in love and established by love. I think what this verse is trying to say is that Jesus Christ loves us and we should make him our home full of comfort and love in our hearts. It is so important to love yourself because if you do not love yourself you will not be able to love others. This may sound crazy but it's true, I have been so insecure for so long about my weight and my body, no one really know how insecure I truly was but Jesus spoke to me and told me that I am beautiful because I am his creation and we are all God's beautiful children. God sees if we are lacking self confidence. God doesn't just see the bad things we have done that we often just hold deep inside but he sees the beautiful people that we are and he sees our loving hearts.

weekly bible talk week 1 Hurt and pain

We are going to begin something new on this blog. Every week I will have a new subject that appears in life and in the bible. During the course of time that I have the weekly bible talk, feel free to email me on any questions, input, comments or personal stories/ experiences. Email me at Michaelaw98@gmail.com

This week we are disusing hurt and pain. There are many verses that talk about hurt and pain. Pslams 41:7  All that hate me whisper together against me against me as they devise my hurt (as they imagine the worst for me.) I think that this bible verse is trying to say is that haters will be haters so do not let mean people knock you down or crush your dreams. There will always be times in life when you are going to struggle and you will go through challenges and sometimes you will get hurt but just because you are hurt does not mean you are broken. I have had my fair share of times like that but it is always an option to use God's love and grace to help you stand back on your feet again. This is healing; the most important type of healing is the emotional healing. In 2 Corinthians 4:16 the apostle Paul said that even though our outer man is continuously decaying and being wasted away, our inner self is being progressively changed and restored each and every day. In the book of Isaiah, the Lord came and healed those who were brokenhearted, meaning those who have felt betrayed or emotionally crushed. I have been in this situation before, when at one moment everything goes great and at the next moment, you step on the wrong stone and slide back down the mountain; when this happens, do not give up. Continue on your way, it was probably just God's way of telling you to pick a different path to travel on and remember whenever you are spiritually or emotionally in a bad place, God will always meet you there, no matter where you are he will be there.
