reflections: Elohim

Elohim,
God, my creator.
the creative artist behind all that is beautiful,
I have wronged you.
Please forgive me for not appreciating and admiring your beautiful work.

It has never been easy for me to appreciate myself -
my body
my personality
my habits

but you, Elohim, have created me in your own image. I am your masterpiece, and instead of admiring that I have criticized your work and thus you.
Every characteristic you strategically placed for a purpose. I look just how you want me to look. My laugh sounds just how you want it to sound. My shape, my natural skills, my personality - all how you meant them to be.

Please, elohim. Forgive me for not seeing the beauty in myself. the beauty created by your very hands and from the love in your heart.
