Honestly this is my all time favorite topic to talk about (besides boys, just kidding). To me this is so important. 1 Timothy 2:9-10 says " I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God."
These days things that are called beautiful is the clothes that you wear or the type of hair that you have. How much cleavage can you show without everything falling out? Maybe if this shirt was a little shorter It would look better on me! Media these days doesn't help with what the image of beauty actually is. They think you have to get your nose done, or have this cream to make your wrinkles go away "It helps you look 10 years younger!."
Being beautiful shouldn't come from the clothes you wear or the make-up you wear.I must confess, I love make-up. I cant leave the house without at least putting mascara on. But remember don't make these things your everything. It's alright to like these things, but dont get so wrapped up in that's all you care about.You should first make God your everything. I'm sure that your friends don't love you because of how pretty you are. God does not just love you because of what you are on the outside, but he loves you for what you are on the inside.
Beauty is about Lighting up a room with a Smile. Its about showing someone that you care, It's about believing how beautiful you actually are. You don't need a magazine to tell you how beautiful you are. God tells us in 1 Peter 3:3-4 that "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 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."
I know your probably like 'I get it, I'm beautiful'. I could talk about this for hours, but then i would start repeating myself. I think God had given me a heart for this topic. This is so so so important to me. My heart hurts for people who don't know that there Gorgeous.But seriously, your outrageously special to God. You might not feel like it because you grew up in a hard family environment, or you've had a tough life. You should always feel Gorgeous wherever you go, whether your wearing make-up, stuffing your face with food or wearing sweat pants. God loves you for what your heart says, and so should others. YOUR BEAUTIFUL AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!
