"Count yourself blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable. You can be glad if that happens--give a cheer, even!--for though they don't like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this king of trouble." (Matthew 5:3-12)
Being myself is not an easy thing to do. It takes a long time to become a person that I want to be. Lots of insecurities and temptations.
Before, I always hid my true self with another persona to protect what I don't like others to know. I was scared, very scared of judgment! I don't want to hear bad comments from other people, I don't want rejections, for it will just make me down. From that, I really don't know what my character is. I am bound to that idea of perfection that I don't want to be mistaken! I don't! I don't.
But when I grew up, physically, emotionally, and mentally, I've learned to accept me. Me as a person who is perfectly imperfect. That I can be much happier to be myself. Being myself in such a way that I can't hurt anybody and can't step on anyone's right. I feel so blessed when I accept the reality. Now, I am who I am and nobody can change that!"You're blessed when you're content with just who you are--no more, no less."
