I am beautiful.
Ouch. We want to believe that, right? That we are beautiful, gorgeous, attractive, pretty, smart, down to earth... Right? We want it so bad.
I know that I'm not the only one who's ever thought I was not beautiful or worth it or couldn't do anything worth living for.
Look, I just gotta let you know... You are Beautiful. Yes, you.
Satan wants to destroy us. And a big way to do that is to get us to hate ourselves. The world does not want us to love ourselves.
Do yourself a favor and go look yourself in the eyes in the mirror and tell yourself what the devil doesn't want you to believe: "I am Beautiful. I am Kind. I am WORTH IT. I am Strong. I am a Woman/Man of God. I am trustworthy. I am delivered. I am anointed. I am a vessel to change the world.
The devil will use these insecurities that we have to hinder us from doing our God-given calling. Insecurities are rooted by fear... And fear pulls us away from God.
In the gospels, Peter was walking on water and then became afraid of the storm and the waves all around him. That's when he started to sink.... when he took his eyes of Jesus and became afraid. Faith heals. Fear does quite the opposite. . . . if we let it.
Just know this, you are an amazing human being that is here for a purpose. Stay. Because you have made it this far. Keep going and run in faith that you are beautiful and Jesus has forgiven you. Watch and see dreams come true. Believe. Everything will be more than okay. You are precious.
Take heart in the fact that you are so beautiful, heart and soul. Body and spirit. You have been bought with such a high price. See that you are worth more than all the riches in the world.
Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” (John 10:7-18 NKJV)
