Case study: One time I talked to one guy, and he told me his story. When he was a young boy, he was chuppy (nice fat.) Because of that, he was the object of teasing from his classmates and friends, which left deep impacts in his heart. Even now, he looks perfectly fine, but that unpleasant experience still effect his life, especially his self-confidence in career.

Now for many people, we don't have that physical "uglyness" that impact our lives that deep. However, we might still have something that still affect us and we even don't know what is that. Another example, I know a woman about 60 years old. She cannot stay too long by herself, especially during the time that people go home. That will give her a strange feeling which had led in serious depresion. After talking to her deeper,I found that is actually from something happened at her young age also. When she was a child, her parents sent her to the grandparents' house. She had strong feeling of rejection by the parents. She missed the parents so much and really wished that someone will pick her up at the time that parents go home. But that never happened. That left an never-changed spot in her heart, which still impact her at old age.

How to deal with it? I will give my own example later.

First we should find Ugliness.
After finding ugliness (which can be on appearance or in soul) we should accept that becasue must of the times in my case I run away from thinking about it.
I think that`s the must problem.

As you said some times we don`t know what ugliness we have got.
So the questions are :

1) How we can find the ugliness?
2) How we can erase the effects of ugliness from our soul (life)?
3) What do we need for finding and erasing Ugliness from our life ?
4) And how to use them ?

You are absolutely right. The challenge is to find that uglyness. How to find it? Believe it or not, that is why God put a lot of trouble and challenges in our lives. The goal is to allow us to "really know ourselves" especially those points that we could never see otherwise. For example, I found some uglyness in myself that inherited from my parents, which was coded in my DNA. When I realized, I was so happy, and it became so easy to overcome those uglyness.

What we need to do is to make use every oppportunity especially those difficulty moments. Of couse that include some people in our life that really bother us. It is not because God does not like us to do that, on the contrary, it is because God loved us that He discipline us.

Hebrews 12:5~6 My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, and because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.

So praise God and thank him that he arrange some hard time and difficult people in our life. Becuase he loves us!!
