True 2 Your Body

Sometimes breathing is hard…

The ability to fill our lungs with air is a blessing from God, yet some of us take it for granted. Why do we take some of the most important things in our lives as a given when clearly we have no control over them? Many of us think we have control over our lives, but that is not the truth.

Be honest. If you could control your life and all its aspects, would you? Could you?

I admit that in my youth, when I was bulletproof and 10 feet tall, I thought that I could do just that. It was a hard fall to the ground when I realized that I am in control of nothing. I have choices that are presented to me, but the free will to make mistakes. I surely made a lot of mistakes in this life, but…

A merciful savior forgives me of my missteps and puts me back on the right track. Saves me from myself. Blesses me when I clearly do not deserve it. Loves me when I am unlovable. Keeps me when no one else cares. God is good! Jesus is my savior! The holy spirit is my comforter!

I admit that I am not the best person in the world, and I am okay with that. That fact gives me the motivation every day to be the best that I can be. It may not look like it but I pray a lot for others, more than I pray for me. It doesn’t matter to me how anyone sees me, I have to look at myself in the mirror.

I admit that there have been times that looking at myself is hard. Scared to see what I actually look like, or to see a face that I don’t recognize. I admit that when I see myself, I wonder if I saw myself through another’s eyes, would I still like what I see.

I admit…

I admit it…

I admit that I will continue to think about these words and take them to heart. I know that if I don’t like what I see in the mirror, I have a responsibility to fix it…
