Christian Beauty is More Than Skin Deep

Posted by ITC-NY on October 25, 2008 at 6:45 PM

Hello saints, welcome to another edition of Christian beauty tips.Today’s topic is Embracing the Beauty that God Has Given You. Sometimes in life we may look in the mirror and say to ourselves, I am too fat, too skinny, I wish I had longer hair, or I have too many pimples, while comparing our looks to people or celebrities. Once we get consumed with our looks we become insecure with things we can not fix. At times we become self-conscious on the way we look because we want to be accepted by society which helps fill our insecurities. However, we must realize that we are created in God’s image and the way that He made us isn't a mistake. Psalms 139:14 it states, “I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Yourworks.” This is all through Christ Jesus. Yes, there is room for improvement, but don't allow it to become an obsession of wanting to fulfill worldly standards of what is a perfect individual. It doesn't matter if your big or small,short or tall, just be content and work with what you have making the best of it. Most of all, remember to always embrace the beauty that God has given unto you.
