All that God creates, God creates with love and loves. This love carries the importance of All That Is at all times. When we begin to see ourselves as inferior based on the world’s view we are taking on an idea that is not of God. God does not measure and compare as we do. That is strictly an ego-based system of thinking. It creates competition and the need to assert oneself as other than, not part of the Oneness that is truth. I never understood that all of my years of telling myself that I was less than or that I didn’t matter or that no one cared, was really one big ego trip. I thought I was being the opposite of prideful, but I was just on a different end of the pride spectrum. It is pride in reverse, but it is still pride. When I find myself comparing who I am to others and coming out as less than–my body isn’t as thin as hers, my idea wasn’t as good as his, my car isn’t as cool as hers, I am not married and they are, they got to it before I did, and so on and so forth. My mind will conjure up a million reasons to convince me that I am less than because it sees it as motivation to do more and be more and somehow prove that I am enough. Meanwhile, I am completely separate and on my own in doing this because it is not long before I start applying that same world view to God. However, God would never see His creation as anything less than complete and whole and love. It is then that I must pause and ask God, Help me to see me as You see me. My prayer for us today is that we be open to pausing long enough to question the world’s view of us and ask God to help us adopt the view of the one who Created us from the start. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
Are you willing to pause and notice where you are determining that you are not enough and ask God if its true? Share in the comments.
