It is the case, Jelly. I believe in God. Others call it a Higher Power. Either way, the HP only knows love. There is no disappointment, judgement, or failures. It is only pure love. I am a child of God. I am unique. I am special. I make mistakes all the time - but that is part of my purpose here...to learn, to grow, to develop.
We were meant to love and be loved. We are already loved by something so much more pure than we can ever be. We are loved before, during, and after any mistakes or failures on our parts. I was created for a purpose, because I was loved. How can I NOT love something that was created by something far greater than I will ever know or fully understand? To not love a lovingly created being, seems a sin in and of itself.
Even when I was at my lowest, it wasn't self-hatred. It was pain driving me. A lot of it is The Law of Attraction. You attract that to you which you are expecting. I have no doubts that after I have learned the lessons this season has to teach me, I will be happy again. I fully believe that.
You know that beautiful soul full of compassion you have, Jelly? Turn it inwards. You have a beautiful soul. I can see it. Others can see it. Trust me, it is there. You are worthy of love. You are special. There is no reason not to love yourself. If you have to, look at it as choosing to love the creation of God. You are not, and never were, a mistake. You were designed and put here, with love.
It is that simple. The truth though, is that the simplest things are sometimes the hardest things to understand. It just is. Love what God made....that is you.
