The lie: You are not good.

On Five Minute Fridays, we love to just write without worrying if it’s just right or not. For five minutes give or take. This Friday's prompt is Comfort.
 
It's been with me so long I've gotten comfortable with it. 

This tiny little lie that snuck into my life and has been taking root and reaching farther as years go by:

You are not good.

It's evident I've believed in the way I try and define myself by accomplishment, by pleasing others, by striving, by striving, by striving. It's shows up in the way I look at other women and sigh silently to myself thinking oh I have failed.

It's trying when I look in the mirror and make apologies for what I see, as if I weren't beautiful. It's exhausting to try and build myself up through efforts and cover my shame in so many ways. Comfort can be terrible when you're comfortable with the wrong thing. 

Time to change the script:

Not only I am good, I am very good.

Not built up by temporary status, but by a great and true affirmation from the only one who can speak on me:

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

Take root big truth.
