A reminder that you're a masterpiece

Oct 19, 2014

Sometimes I feel low about my appearance and my age.  I'm human...deep depression started way back when several years ago when I had to have a hysterectomy.  The sadness of not being able to ever ever have any more children set in and so did my huge weight gain from hormone fluctuations.  I puffed up all the way to 282 pounds.  I was depressed & sad & barely left the house; & I ate my sadness when nobody was looking.  I'd do bad things like eat cake icing or a whole pizza.  Anyway feeling so much better now as I thankfully do I still have self pity sad days.  I look at my body and say things to myself like "I'm still fat," "my face is still fat," "I'm looking old."  That's satan putting negative thoughts in my mind about myself, the devil doesn't want us to be happy or healthy or satisfied in faith or peace.  Troubles come in the form of family disagreements, dis-satisfaction with ones-self, not having enough money, illness...the list could go on & on.  I may always struggle with how I feel about myself but this bible verse that was in the sermon yesterday really hit close to home & touched my heart.  I just wanted to share it for anyone who needs to be reminded that they are a masterpiece too.

Ephesians 2:10New Living Translation (NLT) ¹⁰ For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
