Sometimes you need to reflect on what you deserve because there is
plenty of commentary in the world that attempt to define our self-worth, beauty, intelligence, accomplishments. This is not a wish-list or even a self-serving list (aka I deserve a massage every night with a strawberry margarita) while that may be true, it's probably not going to happen and doesn't really have a larger purpose than being pampered. I mean how do you deserve to be recognized by others? What do you deserve from others because you are in fact a human being loved by God?
--I deserve my boundaries in love, life and friendship to be respected.
--I deserve to nourish my body giving it the right nutrients, rest, activity and compliments.
--I deserve kind words from others and should work harder to give them.
--I deserve to know that I am a child of God and delighted in by my Creator - but also that I have a responsibility of obedience.
--I deserve forgiveness and must freely forgive in return.
What do you deserve?
