One of the hardest things to do is be seen.  Seen for who we really are and not as we present. It's hard to allow people to love us who know our faults and our flaws and it's hard to be loved by those who don't. In one way you feel unworthy and in the other, you feel like a fraud or an imposter. At times we judge ourselves so harshly for going through our individual life's journey. We feel we should know more, do more, have more, be more and it's such a waste of energy. I can speak on this because this is what I do to myself. I judge, I criticize, I chastise myself and I have yet to reap the benefits of such behavior. I have yet to see the positive feedback from this harsh way of self-sabotage so I've decided to stop doing this. It doesn't work. It only deepens the hole of my less-than mentality and feeds the fear. The truth is that where I am is where I'm supposed to be. The lessons I'm learning right now are on purpose. The challenges I'm facing are for my making and not my breaking. In these moments, grace is our friend and God is our support. Lean in and on him. Trust that he has a plan for you. " For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."- Jeremiah 29:11. Rest in the fact that your Abba father has got it all in control.
