“Longing to feel beautiful”

What makes you feel beautiful? I start my day, brushing my hair, putting makeup on hoping it transposes me into one of the models in those fancy magazines. You are unique and special, I tell myself. No one else looks like you. I say to self "Unique is beautiful." Because everyone is beautiful in his or her own way, do not let anyone tell you different.


As the cliche goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But sometimes, the first person you should be able to convince is no one else but your self. Being beautiful is all about feeling good about what you see in the mirror everyday and being at peace with yourself. But its also all about knowing the right bits of information that would keep you looking every inch the beautiful person that you truly are.

Where does your beauty lie? Make a list of what you need in your life to feel beautiful. As I have studied the bible this year, I have read repeatedly how Jesus created us in His own image. Therefore, you tell me how you cannot be beautiful.


• True Beauty in God's Eyes - True beauty comes from a heart that belongs to God. God designed you in a way that delighted Him—you are beautiful!


• You do not have to look or act perfect to gain His love—You are accepted!
• God had given you gifts and talents—you are blessed!
• He has a plan for you that will amount to more than being a face on the cover of a magazine.


1Peter 3:3-4 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.


Proverbs 31:30 Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.


Being beautiful comes from within. Like you, I sometimes feel down and out and ugly and I have to be woken to realize that outward beauty will resolve, it’s the inner spirit and soul that matters to God. I am created by the hands of Christ, just as you are, so WE are BEAUTIFUL IN CHRIST EYES.


That is enough for me…



Give your heart to God so that you too can feel beautiful.
