You are beautiful beyond description,
Too marvelous for words.
Too wonderful for comprehension,
Like nothing ever seen or heard!
God is so beautiful, we can’t describe it. God is so marvelous, my words fade in His presence. God is so wonderful, we can’t even begin to understand His greatness. He’s like nothing we’ve ever seen or heard! Can you grasp his infinite wisdom? Can you measure the depths of His love? He’s our Majesty enthroned above.
What’s so beautiful is that we – yes, you and me – are made in His image! Sure, when people look at us, their faces don’t shine like the sun. Sure, they aren’t pouring Chanel #5 on our feet; but God made us to be beautiful. Our beauty, in the world’s eyes, may be beyond description because it’s lacking, but when God changes our hearts, it all changes. We are beautiful. (And yes, even you guys are beautiful. Or handsome. Or whatever. Admit it; God created you to be amazing.)
Next time the media makes you feel ugly and worthless, remember your worth and beauty in God’s eyes.
Dear God,
Please help me to be as amazing as you’ve designed me to be. Please help me not feel pressured by my friends, teachers, or the media to do things and think things that I know aren’t good for me. I want people to look at me and just know there’s something different. I want that difference to be You!
I liked that post a lot! It was a good reminder for me, even though I know I'm beautiful to God, sometimes it just seems like everyone is saying that and it doesn't mean anything, but it really does! I really needed to hear that.:)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I totally agree that fourteen is way too young for guy drama! You are not offending me in any way! I honestly cannot believe I got myself into this situation in the first place. It's hard to get past, although God is working it out. I think that I'm still really hurt, but I'm pretty sure that the guy is getting over it, so I'll have to too. I feel like a real idiot for all of the stuff that I got into last year. I'm determined that fourteen will be better, but I'm still dealing with the aftermath of last year.
Thank you for the encouragment, and I love it that you're always so honest and correct me about stuff when it doesn't agree with God's word. Even if you think it might offend me, you still say it anyway, and I really appriciate it.:)
Sorry this is so long!

Yes, GOD is truly amazing. Inconceivable!:P Seriously though, it's very hard to grasp who He is. From my perspective, I'm the only kid in class who pays attention to the teacher, not flirting with others or joking about swearing, but trying to grasp what I'm supposed to learn. I know I'm not perfect and my point of view is far from the truth but I am constantly praying that GOD will let me know that He loves me and thinks of me as wonderful and respectful of Him. If I could keep that mind-blowing info inside my little brain I wouldn't feel bad so often. Thanks for the post! :)
