HI its encourager4God and I have a question:
Why is it so hard for me to accept the lot God has given me in life,
I was told by a christaian sister not to put myslef down so much.
I have been verbally abused but that is over and in the past.
I just want to love myself in a Godly way so I can love others, What are Bible vereses that have helped you thorugh your hurts and pain? How did all of you overcome your adversities, Sometimes I feel I am not good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, adequate enough. I know God loves me but at times I have a hard time loving/liking myself.
God is awesome but I would like to know where do I go from her and how to I go forward and truly put the past in the past.
Godly and practical answers only please.

My dear girl. I am not a Christian but I can share this with you. "God helps those who help themselves."
Having gone through some terrible times myself, times that literally shook me to the core of my being, you must first look inward and deal with your personal issues. Love of self comes from knowing your worth. If that wasn't given to you in childhood, as was the case with me, you've got a long, difficult journey ahead. But the effort is worth it. I can attest to that. Consequently, before you look outward for external help with your difficulties, you must first do the work of looking inward and dealing with your personal demons. Only then can the past stay firmly in the past and no longer impact you in your present moments.
The long and the short of it is, you must first have faith in yourself before you can share that with anyone else or with your personal god. That takes a monumental amount of work but it is worth it.
Good luck on your journey!

everything God created is beautiful.
For ye are all children of God by faith in Jesus Christ Galations 3:26
Blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:9
For this makes you a princess a child of God and you have great worth and purpose in Gods plan you have the light and Love of God in you there is nothing more Beautiful then that in the world and know that the same power that rose Jesus from the dead is in you yes the Devil will try to steal your joy know that greater is he that is in you then he that is in the world.
We are not to live for the flesh which is our bodies but for the Spirit which is who we really are our body is just a house for our Spirit By accepting Christ as our savior he makes us a new person he makes our spirit beautiful.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
So now leave the past in the past and start living your life new.
