Happy belated Valentine's Day to all. I have to say this Valentine's Day was awesome. I spent it with my awesome family. I got to enjoy it. I didn't allow any negative thoughts such as, I don't have a husband or why don't I have a husband, ruin my day or weekend. I also didn't let my looks or weight dictate my thoughts.
This Saturday, I decided to beautify my beautiful self. That's right. I love myself, and will now on think highly of myself as should all of us. After all the Bible tells us that we are "fearfully and wonderfully made," (read Psalm 139:14). we shouldn't allow our looks or weight to define who we are. Ladies, we have been allowing this for too long. The Lord made me 5'5 with brown hair, and eyes. I am overweight (& will lose weight only for health reasons), but I'm a beauty. The Lord created me in His image. There is nothing wrong with us.
The world has produced magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Vogue, etc. These magazines put tall, blondes on the magazine who don't look like they eat, wanting to create a false sense of insecurity in us. We women come in all different shapes, sizes, hair colors, skin tones, etc. But, the one thing we all have in common: we are created in His image (Read Genesis 1). We are beautiful because of Him. God never made anything horrible. God said that everything was good and after He made us, He stated that "it was very good." God is not a liar ladies (Numbers 23:19a). His Word is to be believed.
I don't know abut y'all but this girl is going to love myself. I am beautify, I am of God, and I am "very good." My weight and my looks don't define me nor my outlook. My relationship with God, and how I treat myself will. Let me tell you, my desire is to have a close relationship with God, and to love myself. That's what I'm doing.
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded," James 4:8.
Love You All,
Your Sister in Christ,
Mary
P.S. Remember you are all beautiful.
