         (Dad:) You're a very special creation of the Lord's love, so don't worry! Of course we all have things to learn. Imagine how self-righteous and proud we would be if the Lord had made us perfect! So He throws in a few thorns of the flesh, a few blemishes. We all have'm! But don't look at these blemishes; look at the good.
         You could even turn this into a game! Every time you're tempted to think something negative about yourself, something you don't like or that the Enemy brings to your mind, just turn it around and thank the Lord for something about yourself that you're thankful for!--Good health, a good functioning body. There're so many things we can thank the Lord for.
         Even up Here, I'm so thankful every day! Down on Earth when I had problems here and there with this and that, there still was a lot that I was thankful for, because it could have been a lot worse! When I would hear the prayer requests for healing from some of the different ones in the Family, it made my problems seem so small.
         So every time you're tempted to think negatively about yourself or to compare, just turn it around and thank the Lord for something! Or pray for someone who has a sickness or a disease that they're battling, or have been battling for a long time. And pretty soon the Devil will give up! When he sees that you're turning it around and he's defeated every time, he'll quit bugging you with these things.
