This is so good, Sarah. However, I’m so happy to say that I have passed this particular test as I don’t need affirmation from men anymore about my worth and beauty. I read the book: captivating or captivated, by John and Stacey Eldridge some years ago, which really helped me at the time. I love it when you share your story and it’s so lovely that you can be so vulnerable and open up about your experiences and the things you have learned in order to help others. Thank you so much. Having said that, I was given a compliment by a young gentleman today about my choice of dress. He said: good choice of dress today, Nikki. I was able to receive the compliment, but it didn’t change much, except that it boosted the confidence that had been pretty much shredded before today. I am still working on, not allowing the person closest to me, to change how I see myself, because that would lead to eating disorders and zero self-esteem. I know what Jesus thinks about me, and I know he loves me deeply and thinks I am beautiful. Therefore, I will not be looking to of a man to validate me. I find it really interesting how godly men see things completely differently from those who struggle with lust and pornography. Therefore, I look forward to the time when my kingdom bridegroom returns to me, and sees me with the eyes of love, not lust. That is how my Jesus, my spiritual bridegroom sees me. 😊🪞
