Quote:
The fact that God accepts us should be our motivation for accepting
ourselves. If we cannot accept ourselves the way we are, with our
limitations and assets, weaknesses as well as strengths, shortcomings
as well as abilities; then we cannot trust anyone else to accept us the
way we are. We will always be putting on a front, building a facade
around ourselves, never letting people know what we are really like
deep down inside. ~ Josh McDowell

Ephesians 2:4-5 ESV
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he
loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive
together with Christ--by grace you have been saved--

Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
You have forgiven all of my sins and love me with all Your heart. Lead
me to also forgive myself. For it is only after total forgiveness of my own
self can I change my weaknesses into strengths and my shortcomings into
springboards. Wash away all of my shame and guilt. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
