Define your own worth: learning to love yourself in the midst of negativity

Why do we allow others to dictate how we feel. Is it that we are insecure or that we just don't care?
Well, I would like to share this with you today.
Do not let other people define who you are.  Know who you are, and whose you are. Release those negative demons from your life.  Love the life you are in and allow God to dictate  your path.

I always tell my children, when kids are mean to them that God don't  like ugly, it's the ugliness on the inside of that person that's makes then be that way. Don't let that sip into your spirit.

Do you believe it's easy to roll negativity off your backs? What are you suggestions to your kids when they feel low because of someone else's actions?

What scriptures or encouraging words do you turn to.

"When he walked out and she moved in"

I have struggled with writing this piece because for so long I have been hurting. I have loved so hard and cried so hard that I tend to forget if there really is a happy place anymore.  When I met him, I thought that God had finally answered my prayer. To find your soul mate and be with the one that would truly open up your eyes to the wonders of this world. He looked me in the eye and promised to take care of me, he promised to love me forsaking all others till death did us part. He promised to honor our marriage bed and to provide a safe place for our children to be fed.  was it all a lie? As I sit here in my own dwelling place, I shudder to think that, you are real. I wondered what happened. Did I gain too much weight? did not say I love you enough? did I not honor our vow? did I not honor you above all others?  You walked into my life like a secret and left like a secret. I wonder what was God thinking when he gave you me.  I wonder did he already know that you would leave me, on
