AN OPEN LETTER TO MY SELF

Dear  self,

  Hi how are you?  I hope you were fine?  I hope you have a wonderful day today.  You know what these  past few days, I noticed that you're  always  in a bad mood, you're  always irritated  and complained too much for  little things, you are stressing yourself  on those things that you don’t have any control of,  you are putting so much pressure on people that   doesn’t  meet your standards  especially  on those people around you and worked  with you  every day.    You know  what,  don’t get mad at me, but its look like you are creating a little monster inside of you. You are creating yourself  into  someone that you are  supposed not to be.  Someone  you  don’t want  to be.  Remember the times when your
superior is scolding you for some  mistakes that was  not your fault, you're always telling me that when time comes that  you have to have your own business, you will never let your people experienced what you have been through,  I think you are doing the same pattern as early as now.  You are being harsh on people when they  failed to do their job  as per your requirements and expectations.  You raised your voice so easily that it's like you're  always angry. Please be reminded that there were never  be any one like you.  Don't expect too much. You  failed to be a blessing to them,  you failed to treat them the way they should be treated, with utmost  love and respect.  You failed to embrace them with the love of Christ but instead you put  stubbornness and hatred on their heart.  This is not you,   I have known you fully well that I have noticed  even the slightest changes in you.  You have a good heart but sometimes  you failed to show that  to others, you  put  an invisible walls between you and others  so that it's  very hard for them to see the goodness in you,  it's hard for them to penetrate into your inner being and they think that you are nothing but a snob and a person who doesn't care at all.  But you know , YOU ARE NOT .  Every night when you are praying, you asked God to make you a blessings to other, that you could able to touch people lives even in the smallest things you do.  You want you be an inspiration to others.  But sometimes people  misinterpret you, sometimes people think  you as a threat and not as an ally.  But hey,  but it doesn’t mean that you need to be like  that.  Because you are not,  in case you have  forgotten, let me remind you,   you are perfectly and wonderfully made.  Just like the   wild flowers in the garden , your beauty may  not be recognized easily, maybe because you were covered by thorns and  weeds all over you.  But once , those  some brave people, removed all those hindrances in your body, they will see a beauty that was polished by time.  You are  a perfect manifestation of God's unending love to the universe.  You are one of His well loved creation.   You are priceless and precious.  There's so much beauty in you.  Maybe not everyone see that,  but it does not make you a lesser person. You are surrounded by people whose love for you is true and genuine.   Whose love for you is more than a skin deep.  Whose love  for you goes  beyond words, beyond your  imperfection, beyond what you can give to  them, more so beyond your capacity . They love you for who you are, the same way  God loves you tremendously.  His love for you enable Him to give His life and  to die on the cross for you. The greatest  and perfect love any person could ever had.  So cheer up and smile , don’t allow yourself  be consumed  of too much stress and pressure because you are not destined to be like that.   God created  you with a purpose and for a reason.  You are loved.   Don’t get mad at me, ok?  I'm just being true to you.  Because God  said in His word, "Better is open rebuke than hidden love" (Proverbs 27:5).  I love you that much , that it  gives me courage to speak truthfully to you.    Looking forward for more good of you.  And if ever you slip  out of the path again, expect a letter from me immediately.

Loving you,

Your self
