Dear Beautiful.



Dear Beautiful... 

Yes, you. The one hiding in the corner, trying to fade into the shadows, slip out of the spotlight. The girl turning her head, hiding her face, averting her eyes.

Because, why would anyone be looking at you? You're nothing special. You think you're plain and ordinary and nowhere near beautiful.

But it's not true, dear. Don't believe the lies. Attune your ears to the truth.

Plain and ordinary are nonexistent.

We were created in the image of our Creator, each of us uniquely and wonderfully made. He fashioned you with His hands and He was well-pleased with His masterpiece. He is perfect, my friend, incapable of creating messed-up and ugly people.

Have I convinced you yet? Let's take a look at His words...


For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 
// Psalm 139:13-14 kjv 

Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. 
// Isaiah 43:7 kjv

He hath made every thing beautiful in His time.
// Ecclesiastes 3:11a kjv

  4. Wow Faith! Beautiful! Every girl needs to be reminded sometimes that she IS beautiful. Everyone is beautiful, because God created each person in his own image. When we remind ourselves of that we will truly believe that we are beautifully and wonderfully made.

    1. Thank you, Leah! I completely agree. <3 Why should we be discontent with how we look when we were created by the One who set the world in motion?
