Very nice way of putting it together to make us realize it's not about what we think or what others think. We just need to believe in ourselves a little bit more! 😀

Love that story! Reminds me to remember that God is blind to our flaws. He only sees the lovely. He only ever sees His Son as pure and innocent. And that is how we should see ourselves and every one of our brothers.

I love the connection you drew. It's a nice way of saying it, "only sees the lovely" --> much like how we think of people we idolise. We ought to treat ourselves like we're the bee's knees too! Thanks so much Aaron.

Self-consciousness is mostly in our heads, and the truth is, most people don’t even notice or care about the things we worry about. Focusing on the good, challenging negative thoughts, and accepting ourselves can really boost confidence. Thanks for sharing Eren.

Such a dense message in a nugget. We fail ourselves even before we have tried. Thanks for the reminder.
