Beauty..

I read one day " maybe you should eat some make up so you can be beautiful inside too." I thought at first,yep so true! But then I was like wait.. that's how the world defines beauty. The world we live in says to be beautiful you have to look like that edit chick on the magazine cover. I'm tired of this world trying to say how we should be! We should be who God made us! We shouldn't be fake,and we shouldn't strive so much to fit into this world! Im guilty..sometimes I look at the magazines and say I wish I could look like her. And I even looked at girls and say how much prettier they are than me. But then I remember I look like exactly how God wanted me to look like. It starts with us knowing that we are beautiful because God made us. We are complete because we have God's Spirit inside of us. We are forgiven because God loves us that much. We are Chosen. We are new. We are loved! We are accepted by God who loves us no matter what. We are His wonderful and fearfully made Child. I hate it when girls say I'm not beautiful, I'm ugly. My response no matter who they are is " no you are not!!!!" All the time my friend says I'm blind when I say that. But I'm not blind. Beauty to me is not judge by what you look like on the outside. To me its about your heart. When I go out into public Im always worried about what I look like. The other day it clicked on me that it shouldn't matter. People will love me not matter what I look like if my heart is filled with God. For God cares more about what your heart is like then what you look like.

It's a struggle,even for me. However if we can remember who we are in Christ and how much God wants our hearts to be beautiful..it will become easier to accept ourselves. And others,for they are God's Children too.
Father God,
I thank you for making me in your image. I thank you for the wonderful people you placed in my life. Father, let everyone who reads this know how highly you think of them. I pray you will help us each day to know who we are in you and to accept ourselves and other. Let us the the generation that shakes this world up and to speak out about you. I praise you ahead of time for what your about to do. I love you so much Father. In Jesus' Holy Name, Amen.

For as the sunset is beautiful,so are you. :)
