How We See

Looking at yourself is sometimes hard, but hearing about yourself from others is even harder. I don't understand why we are so proud that we can't receive compliments. I know that when people tell me my faults it is hard to listen to, but what about when someone compliments us? We are awkward and don't know how to receive it. Because if you say thank you too quick, people will think you are full of yourself, but if you don't say thank you at all or acknowledge them, they will keep on pushing it until you are even more uncomfortable. But I guess this is a lack in our identity. If we only could see ourselves as God sees us, as he made us, original and complete, we could maybe know. We could know how beautiful we are, how marvelous in his eyes, how much room we still have to grow. We could see ourselves without hating our nose, our posture, the way we talk, all those things. We could maybe love ourselves a little bit better, and teach others how to love themselves, too.
