[QUOTE="bèlla, post: 77638377, member: 416395"] I don't believe self-hate is an element of the Christian walk nor the willing state of one who recognizes the depth of God's love or the sanctity of being made in His image. To loathe oneself and contemplate harm is grievous. It's turning the blade upon oneself and slashing haphazardly. A destructive act that mars the beauty and fullness of our holiness. A wretchedness none should court. We must be willing to give ourselves all that we did not receive. We must be willing to love ourselves when others have failed to do the same. We must marvel at the beauty none saw or treasured. We must speak kindly to ourselves and administer acts of kindness just because. We must learn to see ourselves as He does and delight in what He's done. For we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Custom crafted by the Master's hand. I've often felt this scene articulates that principle beautifully. The death of a spouse born anew as a work of art. It seemed plain to the onlooker until the blood touched its form and it became majestic. The instrument you're hearing is a Stradivarius. It's one of a kind as are we. How could you destroy it?
