So, I guess I'll jump in and start with something I learned about step one yesterday. I think a lot of the time when I am thinking about step one, I think about admitting how horrible I am without God and how admitting that I can't get better without Him makes life easier. While that is possibly part of it (at least what I get out of it), while I was at my therapist with my husband and he pointed out a positive aspect of step one that I had never thought about.
We must be honest about the fact that we are worth it! We are worth the pain that Christ went through. We are worth the love He gives us. We are worth the love others give us. We are HONESTLY of infinite worth! That gave me a boost and I hope it gives someone else a boost too!
That is interesting. I have never thought of looking at step one that way before, but there is a lot of truth in it. Why do I think that everyone else but me is worth it? I have been super hard on myself. Now I know what step I am goin to work on. That, and focusing on what is God's will for me today. Thanks for sharing that Chickengirl.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Isn't it interesting that we can all see the worth of each other? I am amazed that anyone of you could not know how wonderful and impactful you are and have been to others... I guess I will take another look at step one as well, and try to look at myself from the outside, as the sisters and my Father in Heaven might view me.
