Another song lyric inpirated note....
We are all born different for a reason, and even identical twins have something about them that is different! Sometimes I think the world and life around us makes our view of beautiful think only about what is on the outside, so we cover our faces with make up to cover our little flaws.Why should we cover our little flaws with makeup? We are made beautifully by such a wonderous creator, when I say someone is beautiful I think of not just the outside, but MOSTLY the inside because it's your soul that counts the most! The world definately pushes many young girls and some males into such things as eating disorders because they are crying out and nobody hears them and they need someone to extend their hand to them so they can grab it and hang onto it, so that THAT someone can tell them that their outsides don't count, and that they are made beautiful by what created them, and as they are dying for new life they might find it if someone were to be that extended hand! We all want to be thought of as beautiful, we want someone to look at us in awe because they've looked into our hearts and been amazed at what they see in it, we want who we are to be enough for someone to be worthy of their love. Sometimes we all wish we were someone other than ourselves, and if you're a Christian you still know that you were made beautiful but it isn't enough so you still wish you were someone else. We all fight to make the mirror happy, we spend hours on our hair and make up, and picking out fashionable clothing...we spend countless hours trying to find what we think is missing to complete us physically but really what we are missing is the glory of god! It is so hard for me to read that and type that right now because just as I am typing that, I am having this exact problem, and it seems that I cannot shake it, my body image consumes my mind and it's horrible! But I will say that I cannot wait for that moment when it finally hits me and I realize truely that our lord and savior made me beautiful, and how beautiful he is makes me stand in awe, he is in our hearts and it makes me amazed to think about it....and most of all the one person we can always count on is him because he'll always think of us as beautiful because who we are is enough for him, he makes us worthy of love and beautiful! And right now as I sit here thinking about what just came out of me, I'm thinking that I really wish I could take my own advice, I just don't know how. Without further adue..here are the lyrics to that song!

Beautiful by Bethany Dillon
I was so unique
Now I feel skin deep
I count on the make-up to cover it all
Crying myself to sleep cause I cannot keep their attention
I thought I could be strong
But it's killing me
Does someone hear my cry?
I'm dying for new life
[Chorus]
I want to be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart,
and be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful
Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me
Fighting to make the mirror happy
Trying to find whatever is missing
Won't you help me back to glory
[Chorus]
You make me beautiful
You make me stand in awe
You step inside my heart, and I am amazed
I love to hear You say
Who I am is quite enough
You make me worthy of love and beautiful
