2. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART
Where do you find your beauty? The world would have us believe we must look like a supermodel. The truth is...supermodels don't even look like supermodels!
Look what God says in Psalms 139:13-18
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake, I am still with you.
Remember God made you perfectly, with out mistakes. The next time you feel ugly or are comparing yourself to someone else, stop and remind yourself that you are God's perfect workmanship and see yourself as He does...wonderfully made.
