When the country was recently confronted with the truth that the youth of our generation were being bullied at many schools and committing suicide, a call for action was quickly taken. Love is Louder, I recalled it being titled. If only they had heard the words of Albert Einstein that within diversity there was beauty, strength. If only offering ridicule, those kids were offered words of the Lord.
Just take a second to walk outside. Breathe in deep and let it out. Look up to the sky. Sit down. Close your eyes. Focus on each of your five senses one at a time. Endure all the beauty around you and the Maker who created it all. This creator crafted you as well. & He looks at you and endures your beauty, just as we endure His. He thinks you are more beautiful than all else.
When will we start to believe these things about ourselves?
When will we let go of waistline dreams and adopt the Lord's eyes as we look into those mirrors?
When will we be convinced that the diversity between us, making us unique from others, make us beautiful?
Do not let your adorning be external--the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear--but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious.
1 Peter 3:3-4
Do not be so focused on the things that make you less or put your energy into what may make you "better."
You are beautiful, let that beauty start inside from the seed the Lord planted in you long ago and bloom all the way out. Let it be known by others and do not be fearful of it beacause you are wonderfully made.
