Love For Myself

This is the first time that I write directly to my blog... also my first blog for the year 2009.

I just want to share one memorable incident that happened to me at work today.


I incurred a shortage. After rewinding the camera, i found out that there was a short of deposit from a certain client which at this moment I am still waiting for the morning to be able to contact her.

While fixing my working area (teller's cage), what my officemate commented on me made me realize something. He said, "Alam mo Ma'm Bey, ang mukha mo parang wala lang nagyari sa 'yo. Di makikita sa mukha mo na ang laki ng problema mo." (You know, Ma'm Bey, your face doesnt show you are troubled by your big problem.)

That statement caught me by surprise. It really made my heart lift and I smiled and said right away.

"Because I love myself! Minahal nga ako ni Lord kahit na ganito ako. Kaya dapat lang na mahalin ko ang sarili ko kahit na ano pang kamalian ang ginawa ko. Ako nga mahal niyo di ba? (God loves me like who I am. It is just right that I love myself whatever mistake that I did. Even all of you love me, isn't it?)

I dont know, but I found it in my heart. It's like, it was already there and waiting to be exposed.

Yea! It was God that taught me that! His love...

I had a lot of mistakes in the past and a most of the time I would say bad things to myself. I have no patient with myself. I would blame myself every time, for being this and being that....(don't want to say those words again...) It was difficult to forgive myself even on trivial mistakes.

But now, I learned to be kind to myself.... think that which is good to myself... for by doing so, I believe I am able to love others better. Positively influence them.

God has blessed me so much and will bless me more... even more than my shortage and I think that what God would want me to do now is to just.... love myself....
