Sometimes, It can be hard to love yourself. Sometimes we look at ourselves, and all we see are the flaws, or even what we perceived as flaws, which aren't even flaws at all. Sometimes we don't let people love us, even though they want to, and we think we are doing them a service by denying them the privilege of knowing us better. Sometimes we hid, thinking ... if people knew the real me they wouldn't like it. Sometimes, we are just plain being stupid. Christ said "let your light shine."
To all those who said you wouldn't let me push you away, to all those who said I was a good friend when I thought not, to all those who have pledged that they are still and always will be my friend, to those who spoke up and shared stories to give me faith, and hope on a dark day, to all those who love me, especially when I am being difficult to love, Thank you. I know you love me, and I believe you. I will do my best to allow you the privilege of chillin' with me on caterpillar days, so we can still chill when I am a beautiful butterfly. I love you too. I have the best friends on the planet, and that is what the last six months have taught me.
I'm still probably going to have bad days, occasionally I'll still try to push you away. I would be lying if I said other wise, and I hate lies. But because you loved me, I believed you, and because I believe you, I also believe God when he says he loves me too. I think I struggled with that till this year, but some how, you made his message more clear. At times, life is like that, we all struggle to let someone near.
Its hard to say, what a difference one person can make, when the image of Christ, on a heart is engraved. One persons words by the spirit prompted, sincerely and honestly spoken, can bring so much light to a life that feels broken.
Christ heals us all, he is the only one, but sometimes, we are his hands, when someone really needs a hug. And lets face it, we all could use a hug.
