At that time I was just too stubborn to know what they were trying to tell me. I just thought that was just some other lecture like those other ones that they always give me. It just dawn on me now that what they said really is true. If I go out and keep telling myself that I'm dumb, then you know what? I'm dumb for thinking that I am dumb.
Everyone in this world is made to be able to do things that even surprises themselves. I believe that God created each and everyone of us to do things unimaginable. Crazy things. In a good way.
We tend to put ourselves down just so we can portray ourselves as humble and not cocky, but guess what? Your not being humble by putting yourself down. It would make a lot of sense if you CREATED YOURSELF, but you didn't, didn't you?
Psalms 139:14 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, i know that full well."
God fearfully and wonderfully made you, so why put yourself down? Putting yourself down is kind of like putting Him down for creating you the way you are. Do you think God made a mistake when He was making you? If you think so then I think God has more faith in you than you do yourself. I remember a passage from the bible when God called Moses to free His people from Egypt. Moses argued with God telling Him that he can't speak right and he has trouble speaking to people. Then God replied with,"Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord?" (Exodus 4:11).
Why put yourself down when you know that theres a God that perfectly created you the way you are. And made you to be able to do impossible things in the name of Him.
