Scared of Beautiful: The Way You See Me

Standing in the mirror not seeing all that you say you see. Insecure is now my new reality. It's the inner me that's trying to fight all the negative inside of me. I just wanted to see myself the way that He sees me. Fear soon began to creep in, and I became afraid to show the real pieces of myself. 

The secret to muting the fear-filled silence when walking in His purpose for your life, is trusting that God is stronger than your doubt. He may not have created you to be like the rest of the world, but it’s only because He expected that you would be strong enough to find peace, not fear, in the silence.

I’m tired of living up to the expectations of what people say. I want to remove the roadblocks that are keeping me from finding the beauty in my purpose. I’m tired of talking myself out of better. I woke up one day and decided that I was capable of accepting the beauty and image I was made in. 

I had a friend recently tell me, "Cre you know you are so beautiful right? Like I'm looking at you right now and I can see all the work happening on the inside and it's coming forth on the outside". I found myself humbly thanking her and The Father for allowing me to not be so afraid of beautiful anymore.

I changed. I grew up and got better. I began walking on the path to self love and discovery. For so long I avoided change because I didn't want to come to grips with my past. I began to discover myself and what my purpose is. My life became an intimate and personal journey that I became committed to helping, and loving others through theirs. 

I stopped trying to prove myself to people that were not meant to understand me, and accepted this new season of revelation that I found myself in. The greatest gift I ever gave myself was allowing that inner voice to become more powerful than all of the outside nonsense. 

Change is such a gift. 

One day those words or actions that have kept you chained to your past will be like a vapor in the wind. You will look in the mirror and see yourself for all the things you are currently, as well as all the things that you are going to be. You don't cling to the mistakes and images of the past, but rather stand in expectancy of the places and things you are going to be allowed to see. 

Hear me when I say this to you. Sweet friend you are beautiful. I see you and I think you are so beautiful. The things that the Father is doing in you are going to be shown in your smile. You are capable of letting go of whatever insecurity from your past that has you chained. 

You are so worth loving. He sees you. He knows you. There's nothing to small for Him to achieve in you. Greater is He that is living in you, than anything of this world. Come with me and walk in this newfound freedom where we aren't so scared of beautiful. 

Father,

I thank you for this journey. I thank you for every moment that has led me to this new reality of finally loving me. No longer will I hide in the shadows of my past with the people that hurt me. Today I walk in the light with you. 

Signed,

The Way You See Me
