Women, competition and gossip.

One thing that has been bothering me here recently and has been on my mind is how so many of us women find it so hard to say kind words to each other. Or even to build each other up. I myself am very guilty of this. I have been on the inside of the gossiping circle, and I have also been on the outside. It is so easy for us to look at another person and completely pick that person apart. I have heard myself and others say things like "oh she has put on some weight", or "did you see how she had her hair styled?". I have thought long and hard about this and I have decided that I am going to try my best as a woman of God to lift up my sisters in Christ. Not to tear them down limb by limb. Honestly in my opinion that is what causes so much self hate for us in our lives. If others can't accept us for who we are, how can we accept ourselves ? We need to remind ourselves that we are beautiful creatures of God, specifically designed by Him. He made us all different sizes and shapes. He gave us all different personalities and gifts and we should be able to appreciate those things in each other. Thanks for reading this! I hope it inspired you to be a little kinder to the women in your life. We all need love and encouragement.
