Why Do You Have A Negative Self-Image?
Most of us have a very carefree attitude and positive self-image when we are little; however, we often find it hard to maintain it as we age. Why is that? Why would you have a negative self-image?
You may have a negative self-image because you grew up in an environment where you were not heard, seen, understood, or accepted for who you were.
You may have felt rejected, experienced a lot of shame, and formed limiting beliefs about yourself, which led to negative thoughts and feelings about yourself because you were not valued.
Your academic accomplishments were not up to par, and you were constantly compared to others who were believed to be better than you.
You may have also gone through traumatic life events like illness, grief, abuse, or experienced other stressful situations like a relationship ending or financial hardship.
It is important that you know how your creator sees you. Next, let’s discuss 8 ways your creator sees you.
How Your Creator Sees You
If you could see yourself from your creator’s eyes, you would never doubt your worth again. You would stop apologizing for existing. You would stop comparing yourself to anyone else.
I want to remind you of 8 things your creator sees in you, things you must start seeing in yourself until they are unshakable truths in your heart.
You Are Wonderfully Made
Your design was intentional, and there are no accidental details. Every feature, personality trait, and gift was crafted with precision. When your creator sees you, he sees his masterpiece.
You were divinely built for your purpose. So, always remember you are in the right body, right gender, and color to successfully fulfill your purpose.
All the experiences that you have had have made or had has developed you into the person that you have become, so that you can serve your purpose in a bigger and better way.
Remind yourself and know without a doubt that everything happens for you. The universe always has your back. Life is always happening for you through you.
You Are Chosen
You are not random. You were selected for a purpose before time began. Your existence is proof that you were needed for this time in history.
He delights in calling you His own. You are here, as a powerful soul, for a reason right now, or you would not be here. Your mission will be completed when it is time for you to leave this earth.
You Are Loved Without Condition
Nothing you have done, or failed to do, can make your creator love you less. His love is not based on your performance; it is based on his nature. That love is constant, unshakable, eternal.
You Are Capable of Greatness
You were given talents and potential beyond your current vision. He placed inside you the seeds of excellence waiting to be nurtured. You are built to do more than survive. You are built to impact.
You have inner wisdom and unique gifts given to you to assist you in fulfilling that purpose. You also have access to your creator’s intelligence, strength, and power to be able to fulfill your purpose.
So, know that you are capable of greatness. Your life has infinite possibilities, and you matter and are enough.
You Are Forgiven & Redeemed
Your past mistakes do not define your value and identity. Your Creator sees the finished version of you, not just the journey. You need to feel free to walk forward without any shame.
You Carry Light
You have the power to bring love, hope, peace, and joy into dark places. Your presence is a gift; never underestimate it. Even when you feel ordinary, your creator’s light in you is extraordinary.
Make sure you light the path for other people as well. Always heal and encourage others with your light. Always let your peace be felt when you are around people, and serve others by just being in their presence.
You Are Never Alone
Even in silence, your creator is guiding, protecting, and strengthening you. Your Creator’s presence goes before you and stays beside you. You have divine companionship at all times.
Live your life from the inside out and know that you can turn inward for the solutions to any problems that you may be facing. You have to learn to sit in the quiet, ask your soul, and ask your creator, and the solutions will come to you from within.
You Are Made For A Purpose Bigger Than Yourself
You were designed to leave a mark on people, on generations, on eternity. Your purpose is not just to exist, but to create impact. When your creator sees you, he sees a vessel and instrument for his glory and goodness.
