Self Known

Tis the fourth of November and I thought I should inform you. You're beautiful. From the tips of your toes, to the caress of your palm, dear humanoid, you are beautiful. Not because I say so, or because you feel it (or lack to feel it), but because He made you. He made you into the beautiful person you are today. God loves you. Psalm 139: 14 // I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well. No matter what you may be going through, no matter what you feel, God encompasses and knows all. He sees your tears, recognizes your struggles and reaches out to you every day. Please make an effort to reach back. Song of Solomon 4:7 // You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you. Contact me or comment if you need someone to talk to. (If you're not religious, or this doesn't align with your views, I'm not sorry. This is His message and I needed to share it.)

When I was younger, I could never understand the desires other people had. I would listen to my friends talk about their dream jobs and if I could relate - as in, perhaps I wanted the same things too - I would see the cleverness in their goals. But when I could not relate, I couldn't help but scrutinize their choice and think "why on earth would they choose that ?" I mean, why would someone want to cut open another person and probe at their insides with surgical tools? Why would someone want to stick their hands in someone else's mouth to check their teeth? why would anyone want to work on cars or develop video games? I just never understood it. Until my mother, wise as she is, said these words and blew me away. "God puts different desires in everyone." With such a simple statement, you would think I'd have figured it out myself, but it was one of those times in which my own preferences blinded me from seeing the truth that was set clear...
