Seeing Yourself As Valuable
Written by Kim Johnson, Author of IAMMSWHW
It took me about fifty years or so, to get it into my core that I am valuable and that my feelings matter. How pathetic is that! I think that I just lived my life and flowed in whatever direction that I decided to flow, without much thought. I’m, a sort of, free spirit. I allowed other people to take out their frustrations or issues on me, and took their disrespect of me as my own problems or issues; consequently, building a house in my head (shaking my head). But, my, my, my…thank you Holy Spirit for the revelation!
Hallelujah!!! God has shown me that I am valuable. That I don’t have to take disrespect of any kind, and that I don’t have to argue about being disrespected either. I simply have to allow the Holy Spirit to guide me in the direction I should go. The Holy Spirit has never let me down, I just never really listened to the uncomfortable feelings that I was having while being disrespected or payed attention.
Today, I listen and wait for the Hoy Spirits guidance, and follow His direction no matter what anyone thinks. My Brothers and Sisters you have to see yourself as valuable. The dictionary tells us, “Self-esteem is what we think and feel and believe about ourselves. Self-worth is recognizing ‘I am greater than all of those things and that you are a good person who deserves to be treated with respect.’
I’m not saying that it was easy to get here, but what I am saying is, I am definitely proud of the person that I have become today and of the things I won’t allow to be said or done to me by anyone. And I mean no one!
# it’s okay to walk away
# it’s okay to guard your peace
# it’s okay to use the block on your phone
Brothers and Sisters do you hear me? Are you listening to your bodies response to what is being said to you? Are you listening to your Holy Spirit?
