I remember in some years ago, a woman said to me; "Look at her she thinks she's cute." I responded, she is. What's wrong with being cute. I think the wrong thing is going around with a depressed face, full of false humility, thinking that your ugly. False humility really irks me. To get the gossipers off your back, we go around denying how beautiful we are. You Are Beautiful. You were made in the image of God. (Genesis 1:27) It's okay to know that. No, you should not be conceited because everything you have is a gift of God. But it's just as wrong to deny the beauty that God has given you on the inside and out. Be Balanced.
So look in the mirror and claim who you are. You are made in the image of God. He made you the Righteousness of God.(2 Corinthians 5:21) You are Beautiful.(Song 4:1) Now that you know who you are. You don't have to hold back telling people how wonderful they are. You dont have to be jealous if you know you have going on too. You have the same Jesus dwelling in you, you have the same opportunity for blessings and the same promises.
So I challenge you with a Blessing Challenge. Get a list of 7 people and make sure you give them a compliment or bless them once a day for 4 weeks. For a bigger challenge the first should be Jesus. Second, yourself. Third, someone that you dont get along with. The rest could be any others you choose. Contact your list of people and let them know what you are doing and that you will be leaving a message, email or text to compliment them or bless them for 30 days. Just so they dont think you are weird. Tell them about the challenge. If you run out of things to say, go straight to the bible and say it word for word from the bible. You might make that one person that you are not getting along with a friend. It will change how you think of that person, if you focus on the positive.
Let me know by writing a comment if you are entering the challenge. This is not for the faint hearted. Gotta be in it to win it. Show me how beautiful you really are. The reward is that you are giving confidence by speaking life into someone else's life and the second you will amazingly get confidence too. And it's nice just to be nice. There will be an extra prize for one person who will stick out the challenge. So stick it out.
Blessing Challenge starts November 9th, 2009 and ends December 7th, 2009. On December 12, 2009 we are going to discuss the results. See you then.
