Mirror Mirror

I've been thinking a lot about how girls just aren't happy with themselves at some point in life. It honestly breaks my heart to see girls starve themselves because society says they're not skinny enough. It breaks my heart to see girls change themselves to try and get attention from a guy who doesn't really care about her and her heart. I was thinking about it all day today, so I sat down and wrote this out.

"You look in the mirror. You're not happy with what you see. So you decide to change it. You start to starve yourself to get skinnier. You put on makeup until you don't look like you anymore. You try to make yourself look like models and actresses who get all the attention from guys. Then, you start to get the same kind of attention. But strangely, you don't have joy. You're not the real you anymore. You're putting on a show. You spend all your time and energy on your appearance. What you should know is, you're going after the wrong kind of attention. 

There is One who has loved you from the very beginning. He doesn't care what you're wearing or if your hair and makeup are done just right. He loves you for who you are, for who He's created you to be. His name is God. He wants an intimate relationship with you. The more time you spend with Him, the more you realize just how much He loves you. You realize just how precious you are. Without all the makeup, clothes, and hair. You'll find you have true joy! He just loves YOU! Plain and simple."

Don't let a mirror define you. Don't let society define you. You are beautiful because of who God has created you to be. There could never be a more beautiful you!
