The Beauty of Me.

For years, I suffered from not being comfortable with me. I compared myself to others. I compared my gift to others. 

"Why can't I look like her?" 
"Why can't I sing like her?"

Everything about me was wrong. Just wrong. Never would I look at myself and love the girl that I was looking at. People that I loved the most are some of the ones that contributed to my insecurities. No one knew what I struggled with. No one knew what I wrestled with daily. Not one. 

At least that's what I believed.

Jesus Christ knew. He knew every thought that I had of my self. He saw the anger I that felt when someone called me ugly. He saw me trying to change myself to make "them" like me. 

He longed for me to let Him heal me.

Until I truly accepted Christ, I never knew how important I really was. I never knew that I was truly beautiful. Yes, I heard it, but He confirmed it. Through His healing, I found confidence. In Him I continue to find out that what makes me beautiful is the fact that I am me. There is only one me in this world.

Today, God wants to heal you. He wants to take away that jealousy and replace it with confidence. He wants to heal all of your deepest insecurities and truly free you from your bondage. There is beauty in you & it comes only from God. He wants you to see that you are special. You are His masterpiece. You are not who "they" say you are. You are not someone else.
You are everything God says you are.
He says you're beautiful. He says you're unique. He says you are His. He says that you are just what He imagined.

Let God into your heart and allow Him to uncover every lie that you've believed about yourself. There is beauty in you that the world cannot define or comprehend. Embrace His healing & discover the beauty of being you.
