One Day

One day you said I had a pretty face for a big girl⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me if I stopped eating so much maybe then (and only then) a boy would like me ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me I couldn’t wear shorts because of the dimples in my skin⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me I would never be a runner because of my weight⁣⁣

One day you told me I’d never make friends because I was too awkward⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me I couldn’t go to the pool because no one wanted to see my body ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One you told me I wasn’t good enough to join your club⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me I was conceited and stand offish (when really all I was was shy)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me I could never wear a bikini unless I lost weight⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me I deserved every bad thing ever said about me ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me diet pills were my only answer ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me I’d never do anything with my life⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One day you told me I would never be enough⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But then one day I stopped letting you hold my mirror⁣⁣ And I gave it back to my Maker⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ (Highly recommend @elevationchurch’s latest Podcast “My Mirror is my Maker” from this past Sunday. Incredible message about who we let define us - others or the One who Made Us)⁣
