There’s something about being in nature that helps me make peace with different parts of myself.

I watch all those literal masterpieces that exist around me and I think to myself..

The same God who created all this beauty, chose to create me, too?!

Even more heartwarmingly; He created it all for me! To pause and appreciate how it still takes my breath away. To marvel at its magnificent details. To find my peace within its rays and allow it to help me believe.. in my ability to try again every day.

I don’t see the sun out there shaming the moon for its size, or the stars feeling bad about themselves for not glowing bright enough. I don’t see the ducks doubting themselves or feeling like they’re just not good enough.

I feel like so much about nature is just… accepting.

And well, that makes me want to accept myself too. (:
