Do you like yourself?
At one time in my story I did not like myself. Matter of fact I didn’t give myself much of anything but a lot of work and busyness. I did not care for the person I saw in the mirror staring back at me. There was a duplicity going on in my life and I needed to merge the two women together. The Darlene that did, and did, and did. She needed to stop and bring out the Darlene that was tucked within. I hid my true self as the abuse I lived in hurt me over and over to come out and be real. So I went inside.
BUT GOD… I wanted wholeness. By God’s great handiwork by emptying me of a lot of hurt and ugliness, He brought the two Darlene’s together as I am one person, one in one, truly the same, whole, restored. I look in the mirror at the silver locks and walk away, yes, same one. It is a gift to like/love oneself. Then your love can be poured purely into and all over others.
