Allow yourself to look into the Word of God and see yourself through the eyes of Jesus. There is only forgiveness and compassion from Him towards you. He sees you innocent. Let that burn into your soul and allow the Holy Spirit to help you see yourself this way. See yourself as the object of God’s unconditional love.
Take a good long look in the mirror. Look yourself dead in the eye. Really think about how Jesus sees and feels about you. Once you begin to believe this about yourself, you will, almost by accident, begin to see others this way. You will walk in more love and compasión than you can even imagine. You will talk differently to that difficult person when you believe in your heart they are loved unconditionally by God.
