I suggest you google a truthful poem by Rachel Toll. The first line goes like this; three good friends went for a swim. The poem details their dissatisfaction with who they are, the way they look and the times they spend wishing they were someone else or looked like someone else.
Friends, stop lingering there. We are breaking many a commandment and certainly despising the person God made us to be. We dislike or even hate ourselves! That is not God’s way of seeing us. Today’s goal to persevere in the practice of being comfortable in the skin God gave us. Love the skin you are in!
Here are some more smart thoughts from thinkers just like you and me.
