We all have things we struggle with on a daily basis. True? Whether they are big or small, we all struggle with something. Here lately I have been struggling with this certain thing that I am sure alot of teenage girls, like myself, and even some adult woman also may struggle with on a daily basis. That struggle is this- My outward appearence.
Im sure we have all heard comments similar to these: "Your looking a little chunky in that dress, Erin.", or "Lesley, I have some Pro-Active Cream if you need to borrow it?" You also may hear a comment such as.. "Mandy, I think its time for you to take a visit to the tanning bed? Your looking Albino, girl." or "You dont need to wear skinny jeans, your not skinny." The comments you have recieved may not be that harsh, or whatever.. but the point is we have all recieved some sort of comments that may have torn us down, or upset us alot.
I have been there before, and I have been there lately. Wanna know something that helps out alot when your down in the dumps, because maybe what someone said about you, or some feelings of doubt you have about yourself? Here it is-- YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! You may not think so, and some others may not think so, but the one and only person who mattters does. That person is the Lord. He thinks you are beautiful, and every single way. He made you the way you are, and wouldnt change it for the world.
MercyMe has a song thats talks about this, and its amazing!!
You should go listen to it! Remember who loves you this week!
Much love, Erin
