The Need For Respect

 I was looking in the mirror at myself, and realized the beauty I possess.  I promise you this was not intended to be a vain statement, nor is it a rant about looks.  This is about a need for respect.  The priority of self.  The importance of loving your own reflection, and not comparing yourself to everyone else.  You are a jewel in God's eyes.  I think it's disrespectful to put yourself down, and compare yourself to the girl next door, or the woman standing next to you.  She doesn't have your qualifications, because she has her own.  No two individual are alike.  Even twins have their own set of DNA.  You are Unique!  Praise God he has designed us in a way that sets us apart from each other.  The respect you give yourself is the respect that we can command from other people.

As people we deserve the best forms of love, respect, and happiness. Embrace yourself.  Surround yourself with good energy.  Release anything toxic, painful, and negative.  Forgive the people that have 

wronged you.  Take those offenses, and let them go.  Save yourself the stress, and a few years of torture.  Demand that respect from yourself.  Show yourself some grace, and you will soon discover the great things that God has for you.  Until next time may God bless you with peace and prosperity.
