Last night a watched a movie with the little girl I was babysitting. It was a super cute movie. You know - best friends, the beach, the blond heartthrob, the occasional mermaid, and a catchy soundtrack. I guess I'm easily entertained. And influenced. I'm thinking of moving to Cali and working in a surf shop.
Anyways. In the movie, this girl has a pair of earrings that speak into her ear. They have adorable squeaky voices that tell her all of the good things about her. They flatter her, but with the truth. You are beautiful inside and out. You are a true friend. You glow from the inside!
I'm looking into getting myself a pair. Okay, not really, but I actually think it is so important to remember what makes us special, what our good points are. While the media and the world is always telling us how we are not good enough...be thinner, be taller, be smarter... God is telling us something different. When I feel down about who I am or feel pressured by society, I want to focus on what God thinks of me! God made you an individual and made you quite lovely. Lovely enough to die for! There are ways that we all need to change and become more like Jesus, but never forget the ways that God made each of you wonderful!
Psalm 139:13-14 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

That sounds like one of the lessons in edge- you know, "Loving Yourself?" It came right before "Loving Others." It's a good thing to think about. Like you said, we shouldn't act proud and like we're the best in the world, but not think there's anything wrong with us. If we say that, it's like telling God he made a mistake when he made us.
