To all my girls out there…….
Hey you.
Yeah, you.
Don't look around the room looking for someone else I may be talking to. Yes, I'm talking to you.
I gotta tell you something…
You're beautiful.
Stop that thought. Right now. You know….. the one that just crossed your mind that said "haha, yeah right."
Stop that. Now.
You're beautiful.
Accept it.
You know? Now days it can be almost impossible to believe this truth.
Believe me. I've been there. It's a dark place, and I'm never going back.
Lets take a moment, shall we?
Let's take a moment to laugh at society. Let's laugh right…… in….. it's….. face.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Society tells us women that in order to be "beautiful" we have to keep up with the hottest and newest trends that "everyone" is doing.
They feed us lies. Lie after lie after lie after lie………..
You have to be thinner.
You have to be fit.
You need to be a little taller.
You need to be a little shorter.
You need to have straighter teeth.
Oh, and your teeth need to be whiter.
You're boobs aren't big enough.
Your outfit doesn't match.
You know, while you're at it, why don't you just starve yourself to death and then be a Victoria Secret Model to show the girls all over the world what it means to be beautiful, hot, and sexy.
Stop trying to pick apart every single little thing that's wrong with your body.
You believe this crap??
It's bullshit. (Yep. I said it.)
That's called conformity. It's fake. It's NOT real. Are you really going to let over commercialized, over paid, over advertised, and over rated ideas let you define who you are??????
Take another moment, and laugh.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Feels good, doesn't it? Society…… yeah….. they've got it alllllll wrong.
Beauty comes from within ladies.
Not so fast. I know what you're going to say. You can't fool me.
"If beauty is from within, I still don't feel beautiful."
Wrong.
You are.
"I wish I was less annoying.
I'm too loud.
I'm too quiet.
I'm not smart enough.
I'm too dramatic.
I wish I had more friends.
I wish I had her personality"
How many of you have said this? I have!
Truth is. Comparing will do you nothing.
It's hard. I know.
BUT, you are perfectly made in HIS image. Continue to seek the Lord in ALL that you think and do. If he wants you to fine tune some things, he'll let you know. okay??
Stop worrying. Just be you.
Now, my favorite part.
Take a moment, and think about all those boys and men in your life who've given you the wrong idea of what it means to be beautiful. Picture their face, and the words they said to you…. and how it made you feel…….
Now laugh. (I just did. Yep, you know who you are. I'm laughing at you.)
But now, because we are women of FAITH, and women of LOVE…….. say a prayer for them…. that the father would BLESS them, even though they have terribly wronged you.
It's hard. I know. Just do it.
I'm going to tell you again….
You're beautiful.
You see, "beautiful" doesn't mean what's on the outside. THAT'S where society, magazines, and MTV got it all wrong.
Being beautiful means you were made by the one true King.
Being beautiful means you RADIATE the love of God that he HIMSELF has placed inside of you.
Being beautiful means you are comfortable in your own skin…… because the King HIMSELF made you. Now THAT is beautiful.
Being beautiful means you are FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made. God does NOT make mistakes.
Beautiful defines every single one of us.
Not everyone…. besides you.
No, Everyone INCLUDING you.
Rejoice in that truth my friends. It's BEAUTIFUL.
You know what? The next man that tells me I'm beautiful will be my husband.
When he tells me I'm beautiful, he's going to talking about the Jesus that is inside of me.
That's beautiful.
And you know what else? He's going to know what being beautiful truly means because he also will have Jesus living inside of him.
Some would say……. "wow, sounds like the PERFECT man."
yeah…… he is….. for me! 🙂
But you know what? I didn't settle.
Because I'm worth it.
and you're worth it too.
You can't feel beautiful in a wedding dress, from the words a man tells you, from beauty and makeup tips in cosmo…..
You can only truly feel beautiful by loving yourself and radiating the love that the Lord has put inside of you.
Okay?
Enjoy this song girls.
Cheers to you…..
You BEAUTIFUL piece of GOLD.
Fully loved and cherished………….
Forever.
