You are beautiful.
And not the superficial, fashion-trends-that-will-be-over-by-next-week kind.
The real, honest kind.
The kind that makes you the only you in the world.
There are so many things that make us feel inferior, or less-than, or ugly. You are not defined by someone's opinion of you, or the model on the cover of a magazine, or what that annoying boy in fifth grade thought of you.
You are you.
You are not inferior.
You are you.
You have a heart, and soul, and brain, just like everyone else.
They give you life like they do everyone else.
You are no less than every other wonderful human on this huge planet.
And do you know what?
All shapes, all sizes, all colors, all heights, and on and on...
They are all beautiful.
No matter what happened, or is happening, or will happen...
No matter what your scars.
No matter what has happened to you,
or what you feel guilty for...
You are wonderful.
You were created.
And you are the most beautiful person ever.
Because you are you.
You were a small bud. You were young, and in love with life.
Now you are older and blossoming and realizing life has its ups and downs, its winters and very lovely springs.
Now you know
Who you are.
You are you.
So if you want to smile at a joke only you got...do it!
If you want to wear absolutely zero makeup today...do it!
If you feel like hugging someone randomly because they are the most awesome friend ever...do it!
And if, you think, maybe, you are friendless, and unwanted, and just "not good enough"?
THINK AGAIN.
THINK AGAIN.
THINK AGAIN.
THINK AGAIN.
Why would you think that?
Somewhere, in the world, there is someone else thinking they are unwanted.
Somewhere, in the world, there is someone else thinking they are unwanted.
Not good enough.
Maybe even harmful.
But you know better.
Because you know you are beautiful.
Maybe people cannot see it right away.
Maybe yours is the kind of beauty that sits in your eyes and smiles at everyone.
Waiting to spread light wherever it goes.
Maybe yours is beauty that the world considers beautiful. Everyone is beautiful on the outside, because your insides were made by God.
He literally breathed Life into you.
So now you know.
You are amazing.
And if someone tells you you are not?
Tell them you are.
Be gentle.
Be kind.
Maybe they don't recognize true beauty for what it is yet.
But they will.
Because they met YOU.
And everyone knows:
God doesn't make things without a purpose.
So you have a purpose.
You are you...
You are beautiful.
You have a beautiful purpose.
If you don't know what that is...
That's okay.
We never let flowers grow on their own.
We water them.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Just so you know.
Live beautifully.
This has been a PSA.
