Dear Friends,
Do you look in the mirror and focus on what you think is imperfection?
Show yourself mercy…
Do you step on the scale and regardless of your progress feel it’s never good enough?
Show yourself mercy…
Do you parent your children with more love than you thought possible to feel for another human being, and yet beat yourself up over shouting about toys on the floor and clothes strewn everywhere?
Show yourself mercy…
Do you feel that regardless of how others view you or how successful you’ve become, you’re still not good enough?
Show yourself mercy…
God created you with an eternal love.
You were fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)
Regardless of your fine lines, you are lovely.
Show yourself mercy…
Regardless of the number on the scale, you are beautiful.
Show yourself mercy…
Regardless of the mommy guilt, which plagues us all, you are beloved by those little ones.
Show yourself mercy…
Regardless of the pressure you put on yourself to be well liked and successful, you are more than enough.
Show yourself mercy.
Sometimes we are the ones who belittle who we are. We bully ourselves into thinking we will never become who we should. I have news for you… the Father knew your name before time began. You will always be loved and you will always be good enough. Let His love cover you. Today, I’m praying the truth of who God created you to be to come alive inside you. May you be washed in His grace and recognize your worth. You are valuable; you are precious.
Show yourself mercy…
Love,
Jennifer

Dear Jennifer
I always say we cannot show anyone grace or mercy before we don’t receive this from God for ourselves to such extent that it flows over to others.
