True Beauty

Would you believe me if I told you that you're beautiful just the way you are? Without makeup, the latest trends, or anything to change you? You really are beautiful just the way you are. Don't let anyone let you think otherwise. True beauty comes from the inside and you are always beautiful! It's sad how much the media has  an influence on people. It is so sad how society is trying to get girls to think they need to always be thinner or more beautiful than they already are. If only people wouldn't believe those lies. You don't need to do anything to change who you are to become beautiful. If only the media wouldn't focus on the wrong things. This is exactly why we can't let the media be the influence on our children, our loved ones, those around us.. We need to be the positive role models and show them the right message, not the wrong messages as the media is clearly doing.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." -Jeremiah 1:4

God created you unique and beautiful with His own hands. He created you in His image. You were wonderfully made with true beauty. Don't wear makeup to cover up your beautiful face. It's okay to enjoy dressing up and loving yourself. It's okay to wear makeup every now and then just for fun, but don't do it for the wrong reasons. If the only reason you wear makeup is because you don't feel beautiful without it... don't believe that, It's not true! You are beautiful with your natural beauty and without makeup. Surround yourself with people who love you and care about you, people that will give you encouragement, who build you up and don't put you down, who are positive role models in your life. You need to feel good about yourself and have confidence in yourself because you really are more. You are so much more!

I don't wear makeup, because I prefer not to.. I like my face natural better. It's just a preference of mine. I occasionally might wear makeup for special occasions but I don't like to overdo it. I just like to be myself and look like myself and don't like to add so much makeup over top that. I am confident in myself and don't worry what others think of me. I like to be unique and that's okay. I am me, and I'm not afraid to be myself.

These songs really speak to me and lift me up. It's also great encouragement to anyone who may need a reminder that you have a purpose and really are truly beautiful!

I believe that everything happens for a reason. We will have struggles, things that set us back in life, and things we wish didn't happen... but I believe God uses every situation to make us stronger, to grow and change. We may not always be able to fully grasp the reason why things happen but God has a plan, He knows and understands...He is with you every step of the way. God is always with you. You are never alone.

Believe in yourself. Believe that you are pretty. Have positive thoughts about yourself. Love yourself for you. Don't try to change your looks. You are beautiful just the way you are. Let your true beauty shine.
