Early this morning I spent time taking my senior pictures with my mom and sister. I was surprised to look back and have the thought cross my mind that I actually looked beautiful!
It is so hard for a girl to believe that she is beautiful especially when society tells us other wise. It is easy for us to look at the popular girl and begin to feel worthless.
There are so many ads and magazine articles talking about "Summer Makeover Tricks" or "Best Body Ever." Many girls fall into this trap and begin to think that unless they have that cute summer bod or that flawless clear skin, no one will ever think they are beautiful.
We were created in the image of God though. Therefore if we call ourselves ugly and not beautiful we are declaring that our heavenly Father is not beautiful and His creation is ugly. When we think about it this why would anyone want to be ugly or unattractive in their minds.
Fortunately, even though you may at times feel you are unattractive, there is someone who will always think that you are beautiful. Song of Solomon 4:1 says "All beautiful you are my darling, there is no flaw in you." Our Father in Heaven simply believes that all of us are beautiful, so why should we think any different?
