Hola!
I was tagged in a note this week that I thought was an amazing thought that camp from Brianna Gluszak. Since this is 'Tell her she's beautiful' day it seems like a good time to share it!
Brianna says: the world has made us think of perfection as something like this ( skinny, perfect complextion, big but, etc). but the thing that i realized the other day was that our image of perfection as chirstians is well God since we live in his image. thought its just so easy to think that perfection is that girl we see on tv or in a magazine(when we think this its sadning because well we arent like this and most of the time that person is not like that either.) but the part that when i thought this was comforting was even though we don't live up to the image of perfection (the God one) God still loves us tough our faults and wrong doings. and that makes me happy!
I think everyday should be 'tell her she's beautiful day'. I think it needs to extend beyond the ladies too! Our society can be just as hard on guys!
I want to share with you a 2X4 that God hit me over the head with one day. I was sitting around feeling sorry for myself for some reason, calling myself not so nice names and reminding myself of how dumb I was. And then it was like God smacked me and shouted at me (because I guess I would have missed a whisper) "How can you believe satan's lies about yourself rather than my truths?!" I realized at that point I had been letting the devil win! I was following what he was telling me and not trusting God's opinion!! Don't listen to the lies the evil one puts in your heads!! Remember that you children of the King of kings. You are beautiful and utterly and completely loved. You were made the way you are for a reason. Cherish it.
And so all my friends out there, I send love and blessings to all!
