Push Stop

[MajestyJo]

So many times I judged who I was by what I saw on the outside. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I had to learn to love me for who I was in today. Not for who I wanted to be, not for who I had been in the past, but who I was in today - A child of God who loves me just the way I am.

What message did you most need to hear?

"One word frees us from the weight and pain of life; that word is love."

--Sophocles

In exploring the enneagram, Riso and Hudson have identified ‘lost messages’ that we needed to hear as children but didn’t. The absence of these words may be at the heart of our most basic fear. And unconsciously we may still be seeking to hear these words from others.

Review the following messages and note if any one touches you more strongly than the others:

1. "You are good."

2. "You are wanted."

3. "You are loved for yourself."

4. "You are seen for who you are."

5. "Your needs are not a problem."

6. "You are safe."

7. "You will be taken care of."

8. "You will not be betrayed."

9. "Your presence matters."

"Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are -- chaff and grain together -- certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away."

-- Dinah Mulock
