You're Beautiful!

 This post is tailored more for us girls. Look at the world around us. Advertisements on screens, radios, billboards. Models posted up in every store, magazine, or tv. Makeup companies that spend millions of dollars to promote a product that will "make" you prettier, or so we have come to believe. Women all around us that we envy for different reasons... And mirrors that you sit in front of and pick out every insignificant exterior flaw your corrective eye can find.

We never feel good enough. You're too tall, you're too short, you're too skinny, you're too fat. Your teeth aren't perfect, your hair is too frizzy. The list is endless. And these voices are thrown at us at every angle, why? Because Satan, the devil, wants you to feel as if you are worth nothing. As if there is no hope or that you aren't good enough. He wants you to feel this way; think about it, if you don't have confidence in yourself how much easier is it for him to break you down when you're already crumbling internally? BUT how completely false his message is!

God didn't create ugly. See every sunset, flower, river and mountain, do you not agree that they are all beautiful? Well they all were molded by the same hands that created you. He created us all and sees us all for that beauty He gave us. Stop pointing out flaws about your waist or how your nose crinkles when you laugh or if you have a crooked smile. God doesn't have a single mold he created us from. You don't have to be 5'7" size 1 pants, tan, and blonde to feel God's abounding love for you.

Our Father in Heaven sent his Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us so that we may live again. So that we can be forgiven. So that we can lean on His strength. So that we can be happy. You are worth more than you know, more than I can comprehend, but we must all be something special for Christ to suffer as he did for us.

What makes a woman beautiful anyways? Is it her hair? Is it her clothing? No. It's the way she carries herself. The way she cares for others. Her courage. Her cheerful disposition. That's true beauty.

It is my prayer that when you look in your mirror you see a beautiful daughter of God, whose potential is limitless and holds more power and influence then she knows. Let us lift one another up. Show others how beautiful they are and ignore those who'll try and tear you down.
