B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.

I wrote this a few months ago, and realized I haven't actually posted something in my blog in ages!! Enjoy and God Bless!!:) I have personally always struggled with my self worth and image. By the grace of God and the amazing people He has placed in my life, I have started to see myself as beautiful. I have started looking in the mirror and seeing a beautiful princess, daughter (Ephesians 1:6) of the King of kings (Revelation 19:16).    I have realized when i look at myself and start to compare to what we are told is "beautiful" is not what God has in store for us as women and girls at all! He called us to be transformed, and not think like the world (Romans 12:2)   I was listening to Britt Nicole's station Pandora with no intention of writing a note, blog, or whatever! I just wanted to relax after work, listen to some good music, and write. But the song More Beautiful You by Johny Diaz came on and the lyrics captured my attention.   Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine Says she wants to look that way But her hair isn't straight, her body isn't fake And she's always felt overweight   Well, little girl fourteen I wish that you could see That beauty is within your heart And you were made with such care, your skin, your body and your hair Are perfect just the way they are   There could never be a more beautiful you Don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops, they make you jump through You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do So there could never be a more beautiful you   Little girl twenty one the things that you've already done Anything to get ahead And you say you've got a man but He's got another plan Only wants what you will do instead   Well, little girl twenty one you never thought that this would come You starve yourself to play the part But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true And He'll treat you like the jewel you are   There could never be a more beautiful you Don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops, they make you jump through You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do So there could never be a more beautiful you, more beautiful you   So turn around you're not too far To back away be who you are To change your path go another way It's not too late, you can be saved If you feel depressed with past regrets The shameful nights hope to forget Can disappear, they can all be washed away   By the one who's strong, can right your wrongs Can rid your fears dry, all your tears And change the way you look at this big world He will take your dark distorted view And with His light, He will show you truth And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl   That there could never be a more beautiful you Don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops, they make you jump through You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do So there could never be a more beautiful you There could never be a more beautiful you   Beauty doesn't start or stop at any certain age. Beauty is. So no matter how young or young again (to all the amazing women that happen to stay in their 20's and 30's their entire life :)), you are beautiful. I'm beautiful because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Not because I'm a size two (Lord know's I'm not, haha).   You are beautfiul, and no one can take that away.
