One morning just when I was about to eat breakfast, I noticed an old
song by Billy Joel, “Just The Way You Are,” playing on the radio. Suddenly, a joyful smile etched my
face, because the song reminded me with great assurance that God sees me as also perfect just the way I am.
Therefore, instead of seeing myself filled
with judgments, I realized that I should just simply see myself as God sees me – perfect just
the way I am. Certainly, God holds none
of these judgments.
So I smiled even more whole-heartedly,
said a prayer of gratitude, enjoyed my breakfast and spent the day sharing the
wonder of who I am and who I chose to be, as well as promising to myself that I will adopt this empowering attitude from that day forward.
Please note:
I very much appreciate my articles and
photos appearing on fellow bloggers' sites, popular broadsheets, and local
broadcast news segments, but I would appreciate even more a request for
permission first.
Thank you!
Truly a beautiful way to start a day!
