It hurts to hear what others say about me. They see my imperfections, my mistakes..
But what hurts me even more is when I see others who I care about seem to have it all together but I can see beneath the surface of it all. It pains me that they place their identity in the ephemeral or in people.
I am writing this for the ones I care about as well as for myself because this is a constant battle. For the ladies, we like to compete with each other when the real enemy is actually ourselves. There are these little voices in our minds that whisper to us that we are not good enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough and the list goes on. At some point, there may be better days where you actually feel good about yourself but for the wrong reasons.
Instead of giving the attention to yourself, why not look up to the One who is constant and divine? He is perfect and infinitely beautiful. His joy is overflowing and He is the best friend you can ever have.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Whatever anyone else thinks of you or tells you, don't let it get to your head. The most important thing to remember is you. are. LOVED. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, there is a God who is in pursuit of YOU.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
You are a precious gem stone and a daughter of a King. You are beautiful and mean the entire universe to the One who created YOU. Remember that is what's really important... because nothing on this earth can ever truly satisfy and make you whole.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
It was never really the outward appearance that made Him love you. He will love you no matter what you look like! Even if you wake up like Beyonce! He looks at the most precious, fragile thing inside you. Your heart is all that He is after.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made
Say that to yourself over and over again.
Because every day is a battle with those little voices in your head
Every day you have to constantly remind yourself
that you are beautiful because He is beautiful.
Your identity was never in anything or anyone of this world.
Your identity is in Christ.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14
