Last night at work, was taking a piece of equipment over to the person that was washing dishes. Now this object is awkward, heavy, and hot with hot oil in it; called the fry holder. I was going around the corner when I stepped on a tray that was on the floor and a box that was on the other side of me. My automatic reaction was to hurry and get up, keep going until a co-worker said “Alisha your bleeding.” Calmly I raised my apron to my chin while others went to get help. It wasn’t until someone told me that I had to sit down that I did.
At that moment, sitting there, just after seeing my chin I started to cry first of all because I knew that there would be a scar, I would physically be imperfect. So I cried for two seconds until the thought came to me it would be alright.
From this experience:
God uses imperfect people everyday. He loves you despite what you have done and are going to do. Appearance isn’t everything and if you truly love yourself; your imperfections are meaningless because God gives you purpose and meaning in life; to love God, yourself and others. It’s not about us anyway and God loves me for me, even if I will have a scar on my face for the rest of this earthly life.
