i have grown

Was reading the book "The inner voice of love." And I felt God's presence through the whole process and I feel so renewed in thinking.
Think Lust and possession was something I always struggled with but i think once during confession quite a while back and the priest hit the nail on the head. I was indeed very lonely.
There is a deep hole in my heart and I just fleeing from it. I recognise now that in the past I been trying to make people proud of me being dependent on others to give me an identity.
I often overlook or fail to recognise love that had been offered to me. I often discard it because I am fixed on receiving it from the same person I gave it to.
I recognise that God has given me a beautiful self and God loves me very much and in the same way I must try to recognise the same love in others even when it is very difficult.
I took away from the book that A seed only flourishes by staying in the ground that is sown. I AM A SEED planted in rich soil and I have to trust the process.
I have stopped comparing myself to others. looking back rejection or judgement from others: It did not make me any less of a person but I had compared myself and felt very small.
I recognise now that hey I am me and though I didn't meet their expectations and it doesn't make me any less of a person.
I think I can tell my story today from a place without letting it dominate me and has lost its weight on me.
I do not have to fear anyone as long as I am deeply and safely anchored among my community.
I see myself as PRECIOUS and answering the of being a child of God is recognising that God has entered deeply into my being and offer much of God to others. Instead of putting myself down I know recognise the good within me and Im starting to see the truth of who I am.
And I was reflecting on the areas I needed to grow in too and to trust in the process of healing, growing and walking in love.
