~Beautiful Disaster~

The average woman hears she is Beautiful, yet doesn't believe it.
 It's not that she thinks she is ugly.
She just doesn't feel worthy enough to be called "Beautiful".

"Why?" We ask... Because Society has told us that the "Beautiful" woman... is a supermodel that has long sleek legs, stringy yet perfect hair, perky lips, eye lashes for days, abs of steel, the perfect chest, and a petite figure. Heck, you see the "perfect woman" everywhere you look in magazines and billboards.

How discouraging! So often Society puts us down before we even have a chance. You can hear "you are beautiful" at home, or from parents, a spouse, or friend.. Yet, In your head all you see is a list of things you want or feel you need to improve: your weight, your muscle tone, your hair, your face etc.

It hurts... It makes you feel less than you really are. Makes you feel Un-loveable.. But the Truth is... There is a MAN that loves you just the way you are!

In Psalms 139: 13-15, God tells us that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made".. We may not like how we look- or there may be something about ourselves that we wish we could change.. yet, GOD... He made us the way He wanted us! We were CREATED by the Master. How awesome is that... He created us in our Mothers womb... He knew our features before the WORLD knew our features. He Loved us before we had a chance to Hate ourselves.

So often I feel that women lose sight that "Beauty" really comes from within. I once heard a quote that went something like this.. "A pretty face will grow old.. A nice Body will change with age... But a Good woman.. will always be a GOOD WOMAN!" Wow... What a reminder~ Society can tell us that Beauty is a LOOK that we all wish we can achieve yet God tells us otherwise.

 In Proverbs 31:30 He tells us that "Charm is deceitful and Beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised!"

Just know that God thinks you are Beautiful. You may find your "flaws" that you wish you could change. You may think or feel that in the eyes of this world you are nothing but a disaster. But try to retrain your way of thinking. The next time you are feeling down about your self (no matter what it is) think of whatever it is as a Beauty Mark given to you by God. In his eyes.. You are Loveable and you are Worthy. Find your Beauty in God.. not in this corrupt Society!
