Ephesians 4:32... says, “be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. ”
That’s a great verse. Have you ever thought of applying it to yourself and the artist in you? The perfectionist is not kind to the artist inside. The perfectionist constantly criticizes the artist inside, sets unrealistically high expectations, and sees only the negative. But God made us to be artists. When we mistreat the artist in us, we diminish someone God made and loves.
What a great week to look at forgiving ourselves as Christ forgave us...the week we look at Jesus’ death and resurrection. He loved you so much He died for you...and forgave you for everything you’ve done and will do.
Praying that you will be kind to yourself and the creative person that is inside you and that you will be able to forgive yourself when things don’t go as perfectly as you had hoped or planned...but you will choose to be compassionate to yourself instead loving the person God created you to be just as He loves you...and gave up His life for you. You were (and are) worth dying for.
Praying for you,
Stacey
