You are BEAUTIFUL!


There could never be a more beautiful you,
don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops they make you jump through,
you were made to fill a purpose that only YOU could do,
so there could never be a more beautiful you.
The media is so good about broadcasting to us what "perfect" looks like everytime we turn around. The picture of what the world today thinks is ideal is so distorted from what God finds desirable. Think about it, He crafted us to have the quirky little traits that we have! It's so amazing to think about! God gave me freckles that only show up in the summer because He wanted to. He made me to have bright orange hair when I was a little girl and I can't get a tan to save my life. But He specifically made me that way! We need to learn to see ourselves through the eyes of God. We should love ourselves, not point out every little thing we don't like. What an insult to criticize His marvelous works.

So, if being a tall, dark, skinny bombshell isn't God's definition of beautiful.. what is? 1 Samuel 16:7 says "..the Lord does not look at the things a man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."
