WONDERFUL

Im sure we could all think of tons of things we's like to change about ourselves. Personally I'd like to be taller and have Beyonce's measurements.. For some crazy reason we tend to slip into self hate mode, naming off all our flaws and imperfections. But is this self loathing sacrilegious?  If G-d made us, then dissing His handiwork..it's kinda like dissing Him right?

What G-d says

PSALMS 139:14 "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

GENESIS 1:27-"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."

1 PETER 3:3-4- "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. ⁴ Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."

1 CORINTHIANS 6:19- "You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit who is in you."

Confidence is a huge deal, it effects the way we dress,act, the opportunities we chase, you name it. The way you view yourself plays a big role in how the world views you. Sadly there's a widespread epidemic of low self esteem going on. People can name off all the things that are wrong with them but are at a lost for words when it comes to naming their great traits. Media just caters to this insecurity, setting impossible standards of beauty and offering shallow solutions. "Buy this lipstick, it'll make you beautiful! Your not skinny enough, take this pill!" It's no wonder we feel like crap, were listening to the wrong people. Psalms 139 talks about how wodnerfully we  were made, how G-d took the time to make  us fabulous, then to top it off instilled in us talents and traits that make us uniquely beautiful. G-d who made  incredible sunsets simply by speaking made you by hand. Do you get how special that makes you? You are beautiful.  If we truely knew just how beautiful we were we could put maybelline out of business. We have the wrong idea of beauty.. its not all looks and glam. 1 Peter 3:3-4 says your beauty doesn't come from your adornments, hair, or clothes, but from your heart.. You could look like Giselle but if your ugly on the inside in G-d's eyes your hideous. He's not impressed by a pretty face. Idk about you  but it's nice to knw G-d cares more about my heart rather than the size of my thighs. G-d is perfection, the very definition of flawless, so his high opinion of you should mean something. The L-rd of the universe calling your body His temple, should mean something. Ladies, burn your " I hate" list && start loving yourself, G-d does.


You are  beatiful and wonderflly made. From the top of your head to the bottom f your feet you are the very spitting inage of G-d. You are his crowning piece in creation, handmade unlike anything else in creation.

HOMEWORK: Say G-d made me && by default that makes me (insert adjective), I used Fierce. Keep saying it till it really sinks in.
