We are clay in the hands of Jesus

Self hatred (of any kind)

All I can see in myself is FATTTT! Today my cousin sent me jeans and they’re size 0-2 so I know they won’t fit me and it depresses me. It also motivates me to keep starving myself. Anonymous


You are not fat! Do not listen to the world’s lies to you about being fat, ugly, worthless. That was a mistake I made as well and has haunted me.  You are beautiful just the way you are.  The media is wrong in how they present woman and beauty. I am going to include several bible verses on us being beautiful.  Take them to heart!

Psalm 139:13
“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.”

1 Peter 3:3-4 
“Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.”

Proverbs 11:16 
“A kindhearted woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth.”

1 Timothy 2:9-10
“Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray—not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God. And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it.”

Proverbs 31:30 
“Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.”

Take heart! God sees beauty in everyone because He made each and every single one of us.  And guess what? In the end, God’s opinion and love is the only thing that will matter. 

I know how you feel. But just because you feel that way, doesn’t mean you should motivate yourself to starve.  Did you know that the world portrays how women should look through models.  Almost all models are 5’11” and 110 pounds.  But the actual woman is 5’5” and 140 pounds! Do you see the difference.  Do you think looking sickly by being 95 pounds is beautiful? I don’t! I would want to be healthy, even if people don’t think that’s beautiful.  Trust me! If you continue on this patter, you are going to most likely end up with an Eating Disorder, which could kill you, cause great emotional scarring, can lead to bad depression, anxiety, self harm, self hatred, suicide, etc.  So think about it! Is that the price you want to pay, just to be able to wear size 0-2 jeans? And you know what? I used to want the same thing, but I decided being healthy, weighing 135 pounds and wearing size 6 jeans was perfect for me! And whatever you weight and jean size is perfect for you as well! I

I will be praying for you! Please let me know if you need anything or want to talk further on this.  God bless you!

About the self-love picture you added. What if self-hate is all you can do? Anonymous

I know exactly what you mean and feel. I’ve felt self hate for many many months. What you have to do is pray to God, asking if He will reveal to you how He sees and loves you. I had to ask Him every day to show me how He saw me. I had to pray to Him to help me love myself and be more confident an proud of myself. I am still working on it today.

Can you come off anon so I can talk more in depth with you?
