Incentive: breaking the habit for God's sake

Last time, we spoke about the dire need for you to change your thought patterns. Thought bashing is habitual and so ingrained in your personality, that it is going to take discipline and dedication in order to remove it from your daily process. Before we move on to anything else, I would like to take the time to remind you of something......God feels. He feels a million times more intensely then we do. He created the emotions in us and we are simply made in his image, therefore what we feel is just a shadow of what he feels. This includes the way we love, hurt, experience joy etc.

Every time you complain about yourself, whether in thought or word, you are insulting God's divine intelligence. Now, I am going to give you an analogy that insults your intelligence:
You're having a baby. Let's say it's a girl, we'll name her Muffin. You've been trying to have Muffin for a very long time, and you are overjoyed that she is coming. Let's say that in 2015, there is this ultra modern technology that allows you to play God and chose how Muffin will be made. So after much deliberation, you give Muffin green eyes, blond curls (your grandmother had blond curls and she was the godliest women you knew), and you gift her with this rock awesome musical ability. But, just to make sure Muffin doesn't get distracted from her music, you add some "bad at math" into the batch to ensure that there will be no joining of the "Math League" for your precious baby.
Muffin grows into a headstrong tween-she's beautiful. Except, she's not turning out quite the way you planned. She's a people pleaser; she hates her gorgeous, blond hair because in the future it's cool to have brown hair. Her musical talent is undeniable, but she constantly finds fault with it and calls herself a loser because she's bad at math. She starts imitating her friends-which makes you pinch your lips in distaste-those brats were conceived the old fashioned way, and don't have a smidgen of the stuff Muffin has. She begins series of destructive behavior; cutting herself, dating boys who will grow up to suppress women and dying her incredible hair that was a gift from your grandmother. All the while, your heart is breaking because you created Muffin to change the world, and here she is farting away her potential. It would hurt you so much to know that you gave this girl the tools to be great and all she did was whine about her shortcomings. It would be a slap in the face.

Please stop slapping God in the face.
He knew what He was going when he made you and it was done for a purpose. You are a fool to think that anything in a God-given life has no reason or rhyme to it.
Your face; planned. Your mind; planned. Your hooked nose; planned.
The sooner you embrace the fact that each item in your being was created to serve Jesus Christ, the healthier you'll be. Perhaps, had He made you perfect looking, you would have sought a modelling contract instead of college and by 22 you would have a cocaine addiction instead of a ministry with youth. Selfish. Would you really trade the purpose for your life for a flatter stomach?...for larger eyes? You were fearfully and wonderfully made according to what God thinks is beautiful. Now, you can be stubborn and insist that Vogue is right, but rest assured that Vogue isn't going to Heaven and answering to God. And really ladies, can you imagine standing in front of God's throne and reciting your complain list? Mine would go something like this:

"Gee, thanks God-loove the chicken legs you gave me-not! I totally hate them. Oh and my personality-it sucks-I tell the truth, but guess what?- no one likes to hear it. Oh, and I'm pretty dense-can't do algebra. You couldn't have been a little more generous in the brain department huh?"......


He hears you, you know? Every time you think these things, he hears you.

Just a little incentive to fix the problem...........
