You are a child of God. You were created in creativity, a primal thought when God extended Himself in love. Nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth.
When Michelangelo was asked how he created a piece of sculpture, he answered that the statue already existed within the marble. God Himself had created the Pieta David, Moses, Michelangelo's job, as he saw it, was to get rid of the excess marble that surrounded God's creation.
So it is with you. The perfect you isn't something you need to create, because God already created it. The perfect you is the love within you. Your job is to allow the Holy Spirit to remove the fearful thinking that surrounds your perfect self., just as excess marble surrounded Michelangelo's perfect statue.
To remember that you are part of God, that you are loved and lovable, is not arrogant. It's humble. To think you are anything less is arrogant, because it implies you're something other than a creation of God.
Love is changeless and therefore so are you. Nothing that you have ever done or will ever do can mar your perfection in the eyes of God. You're deserving in His eyes because of what you are, not because of what you do.
What you do or don't do is not what determines your essential value-your growth perhaps, but not your value. That's why God is totally approving and accepting of you, exactly as you are, What's not to like? You were created in Love.
I have had this since High school- Some times we often forget how wonderful we are! So I just wanted to remind those who reads this- about the PERFECT YOU!
