Anyone here hate themselves when they're around people? For some season I get that way at times and I don't know why. I'm reading a book titled 'What Kids Need Most in a Dad' written by Tim Hansel (Great book for new dads by the way written by a Christian father) and it has a chapter on enthusiasm saying that we should accept ourselves and embrace ourselves without apology, without excuse, and without complaint. We should accept ourselves as an original creation from our maker, one-of-a-kind being and a one-of-a-kind father.
Looking more into why I may feel like this at times is maybe I grew up with a very mean and sour mother that was cold at heart. I think that may be it hence I did grow up in a broken home where my parents divorced when I was 8.
Does anyone else here get haunted by their past at times? It seems like it gets the better of me every once and a while. Please pray for me that I accept myself as a one-and-only creation from our maker. Thank you.
