There is something seriously wrong with our culture today.. the mindset of the world is completely opposite of what it should be. I am constantly reminded that my hair color is not perfect, my tummy is too fat, my arms are too flabby, blah blah blah. I'm fairly sure that you see those constant reminders, too. Whether it be the billboards you see while driving around, the magazines that you buy, what you see on TV, the movies that you watch, or what you come across on the internet. There is so much pressure on us girls/ladies/young women (whatever you call yourself) to look perfect & radiant & beautiful on the outside just to be accepted, this is even goes on with our peers & our friends.. not just the world! But, the truth is, you are already a beautiful child of God (no matter what the world and your friends have to say about you)! Check this out..
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are they works; and THAT my soul knoweth right well. {Psalm 139:14}
We are WONDERFULLY made! We should be praising God for his creation and thanking him for blessing us.. not wishing we looked differently or feeling sorry for ourselves because we don't look like our friends!! We need to be pleased with how GOD wanted us to look! If He wanted us to look differently... we would look differently. It's that simple. God is the ultimate artist.. he is our maker and designed us exactly how he wanted! If we have flaws.. its His mark on us. That makes us unique! (you know.. we're a peculiar people anyway!)
Another reminder.. The King greatly desires your beauty! {Psalm 45:11}
