Love Yo Sef!

Are you a self-loather?

Many of us are.

That is why we want to destroy ourselves...literally.

We are never good 'nuf, strong 'nuf, pretty 'nuf, smart 'nuf, tall 'nuf, skinny 'nuf, and on, and on, and on, and on...until screaming, crying, cutting, drinking, smoking, sexting ...blah, blah, blah.

And where does all this self-loathing come from? Check it.

Did you understand that scripture? The enemy stands before God and says what a rotten reprobate you are. Could it be that your spirit hears all these accusations? Good possibility.

Watch this video...would you paste an "L" on this guy's forehead?

OK... maybe you can't sing like him or like his kind of music, but you have to admit, his story is inspiring. (didn't you at least find yourself smiling when you watched it?)

Here's the thing...life is hard nuf, and being hard on yourself won't make it any better. There are times when you will screw up and there may be consequences, but you have a choice; you can either pile on more loathing or you can shake it off and wait for a better tomorrow.

More loathing -or- shake it off... those are your options; and this choice doesn't change when you get older. What you do now, you will do later...trust me.

In contrast to what the enemy is saying about you, this is what GOD knows about you.

Discuss with the group what you will do the next time you screw up. Learn new ways to love yo' sef!
