I'm LOVING ME today!

[purity]

My co-worker sent this to me in an e-mail and I wanted to share it here on deepwaters. I hope this adds encouragement to your day. Let the Love of Christ be with you always!!  

  
I'm Just Loving Me for A Moment...
Pardon Me...I'm just lovin' me for a moment this morning.

I woke up this morning to the smell of my conditioned hair. As I lay in my satin sheets, I noticed the beautiful outline of my Vessel.

It came to me...
I am a resurrected vessel...Beautiful
Moving into another level of wholeness.
I think I ought to love me this morning.

Pardon me... I'm just lovin' me for a moment this morning. I woke up this morning to the pattern of my own shadow. No matter where I turn, I cannot separate what I reflect in my shadow.

Someone else cannot see the intricate details that God has put into my shadow, I cannot only see it, but I appreciate it. If a perfect God can take that much time in molding me, loving me, cherishing me, reshaping me...then surely I Am worth loving me.

Pardon me... I'm just lovin' me for a moment this morning. I woke up this morning alone but not lonely.
I got tired of waiting for someone to put ice in my soda, milk in my tea, jam on my biscuits, peas in my rice, and soap on my back.

I am not alone.
I have me... I have me... I have me... and then
I have an omnipresent God who has me...
When I put the ice in my soda...
He stands there silently observing me...ready to suggest creative ways to set my table.

Pardon me... I'm just lovin' me for a moment this morning. I woke up this morning and beheld the beautiful reflection of a 5ft something frame, a soft smile, a shiny nose, medium length hair, brown skinned complexion, and a Biblically perfect shape.

I leaned forward and kissed the mirror...I love you girl!!!
Not because of your external beauty...
Not because mama said you were beautiful...
Not because a man told you that you were beautiful...No!

Because God values you...
Because God loves you...
When I look at all your attributes, and I think about what God has predestined you to become... I can only say that I love you.

For all the battles you've conquered...
For the tears you've shed...
For the negative words that shot you down...
For the pain you've overcome...
For the growth you've sustained... I love you Girl!

Pardon me... I'm just lovin' me for a moment this morning
