Dear Insecure Girl,
Why do you hate yourself? Why do you spend days looking at yourself in the mirror criticizing every inch of your body. Why do you compare yourself to other girls. Why don’t you think you are good enough? Why do you think you are going to be forever alone? Why don’t you give yourself credit? Why do you hide yourself? Everything around you is amazing but your world is falling apart because you don’t feel pretty enough. You have let what others have said and what society says to define you again. Why?

My Beautiful Daughter,
You are worthy. You are loved. I created to just the way I want you to be. Awkward and goofy. Compassionate and loving. Sarcastic and sassy. Passionate and kind. Everything about you. My dear daughter, I love you more than words can describe. There is no one like you. Please stop critiquing yourself because you make it sound like I made a mistake. I made no mistake at all.

Remember this verse when you start hating yourself or things about you that you wish were different.

Psalm 139:13-16
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

Never forget that my beloved daughter. I love you so much Victoria.

Dear Insecure Girl,
You see that! The Lord spoke to you. It’s going to be a constant battle for you but you aren’t weak. With the Lord you can defeat the lies of this world. Now is the time to step into freedom. Now is the time to shine brighter than you ever have before. Break those chains that have been binding you. It’s time to fully love yourself all the time. You may not have all the things you want, but you will always have God’s love and acceptance. That’s all you need.

Love,
Victoria Finlay
