I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and from now on sin no more. John 8:11 (AMP)
Have you ever met a couple who seemed ‘mismatched?’ Most often both partners appear comparable in physical attractiveness, but sometimes they seem mismatched. The most extreme examples of this are when you see an elderly man with his beautiful 20-something bride and you wonder, “How did that happen?”
Many factors are involved in being desirable to the opposite sex including wealth and status, but there is another component that I’d like to discuss today. It’s called emotional attractiveness. Emotional unattractiveness often shows itself as anger, frustration and unhappiness.
There are several components involved in becoming more emotionally attractive but the first step always involves owning your own stuff. Although others may have affected and influenced you, the harsh reality is that it is still your responsibility to change.
That being said…stop feeling condemned. Often emotional unattractiveness stems from a deep-seated feeling of guilt. Many feel constantly condemned because they compare themselves to others— their worst with others’ best. They can never measure up. They may even think that the condemnation comes from God. If you’ve given your life to Jesus, condemnation does not need to be a part of your make-up. It is a feeling you need to kick out, just as you kick out fear.
Jesus didn’t judge or lecture the woman caught in adultery who faced stoning; He saved her life. You are accepted the way you are! As you realize what you’re worth in the eyes of the creator of the universe, you will be empowered to change and grow to become an even better you!
