Beautiful and Wonderfully Made

I have a First Love. His Name is Jesus.

As a child of God with bipolar disorder, Jesus has taught me to love others as I love myself. But, before I love others and myself, I must love Him FIRST!!

~”We love him, because he first loved us.”~1 John 4:19, KJV~

As I learned to love Jesus more, I fell in agape love with Him and with the image of which He made me. This is not vain and it is not selfish, as a child of God with bipolar disorder. Falling in agape love with Jesus and the image of which He made me is pure, beautiful, and altogether lovely.

As I learned to love Jesus more, I fell in deeper agape love with the flaws of which my bipolar disorder causes for me to carry in my personality. For instance, I can become sad rather quickly at times, and then, joyful the next minute. I use the flaws of my emotions to glorify God through my bipolar disorder in the best way possible. With Jehovah, glorifying God in the midst of my bipolar disorder is possible.

As I learned to love Jesus more, I fell in pure agape love with the positive parts of my personality. I love the joyful side of me and I also love the humorous sides of me because both of these sides of me can be used to glorify God through my bipolar disorder. Praise the Lord and Hallelujah!!

Jesus taught me to LOVE. Jesus taught me love, love, LOVE!! Jesus taught me to love Him because He first loved me, in spite of my bipolar disorder. Loving myself because Christ first loved me is not selfish neither is it vain. It is pure, beautiful, and altogether lovely.

I have a First Love. And He taught me to love myself. Unconditionally. His Name is Jesus.

The Gift of Forgiveness

I choose to forgive. I choose the gift of forgiveness.

As a child of God with bipolar disorder, I forgive because it is a command of Jesus Christ to forgive. Forgiveness is a command of my Lord and Savior.

~”Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”~Ephesians 4:32, NIV~

Jesus taught me to forgive myself because He died for me on the cross. Jesus taught me to forgive others because He died for me on the cross. Jesus taught me to forgive myself and others because He died for me on the cross.

I extend the gift of forgiveness because it brings healing to myself and to others. I extend the gift of forgiveness because is brings helpfulness to myself and to others. I extend the gift of forgiveness because it brings hope to myself and to others.

When I do not forgive, I become angry. When I do not forgive, I become hateful and mean. When I do not forgive, I become spiteful. My testimony is not a reflection of Jesus Christ if I choose to not forgive.

When I forgive, I feel free. When I forgive, I am free from anger, I am free from hate and meanness, and I am free from spitefulness. When I forgive, I become free in Christ my Lord because He has set me free.

This is my testimony, as a child of God with bipolar disorder: I forgive, as a child of God with bipolar disorder, because it honors God AND brings the light and love of Christ Jesus to my testimony when I choose to forgive.

My testimony, as a child of God with bipolar disorder, becomes stronger. My testimony, as a child of God with bipolar disorder, becomes light. My testimony, as a child of God with bipolar disorder, brings love. I am strength. I am light. I am love, In the Name of Jesus Christ!

In the Name of Jesus Christ, I am strength through my bipolar disorder diagnosis because I choose to forgive. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I am light through my bipolar disorder diagnosis because I choose to forgive. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I am love through my bipolar disorder diagnosis because I choose to forgive. Amen!

I choose to forgive. I choose the gift of forgiveness.
