Are
you good enough? Do you measure up? Above is just a portion of a song
that almost always brings tears to my eyes. You see, I have two
beautiful little girls that are eventually going to be told lies about
their beauty, their worth, their intelligence, etc and I would do
anything to keep them safe, keep them from hearing those lies. I know I
won't be able to. Somehow, someway, we are all reached by those lies and
sometimes led to believe them. All I can do, as a parent, is speak
truth over those lies and fight for my little girls to know their
importance, their beauty, their worth, etc. I have the same
heart for you as I do for my little girls. The same desire for you to
know how beautiful you are and how much you are worth. The worlds view on
beauty and Gods view on beauty are so very different....."Man looks at
the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."(1 Samuel 16:7
b) There is nothing wrong with being beautiful and being told you are
beautiful....in fact, I think it is very important to have the people who
love you tell you that but do not be consumed with your outward beauty.
Instead, work on your inner beauty. Let that shine through. There is
nothing more beautiful then seeing love or joy or peace on someone's
face. It shines from their eyes, glistens on their smile....pretty much
radiates out from them and draws you in. That's true beauty in my
opinion. "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe
yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and
patience."(Colossians 3:12) I want to encourage you to see the true and
real beauty in yourself and to speak it over other. Your words are
powerful and they have the ability to speak life into others!
One last thing I want to leave with you....
You
are a beautiful creation, unique and important. There is no one else in
the world like you and you are needed. Your talents and gifts that God
has given to you were given to you for a reason and a purpose. No one
else can do what God created you to do. Do not believe the lies of the
world but believe the truths of God found in the Bible.
