I am trying to understand what the word "Beautiful" means. If everyone is beautiful...because God created us ALL beautiful...does it some how become less valuable or less important? NO. In fact, we are all blessed with true beauty. You are beautiful...isn't a compliment that you some how 'attained' by putting on makeup. It is a FACT...which has been ascribed to you by the craftsmanship of God. Everyone is beautiful. Beauty is a special gift from God...that He chose in the beginning to give to everyone! How cool is that!??!!! When you don't feel like you have received much...just take a second to look at your inward and outward self. Don't look at it with the eyes of culture...but rather by the eyes of God. I know that the world says that we aren't beautiful if we are white, fat...etc. but if you look back in the olden days...that is exactly what made you beautiful. So when I say don't look at yourself with the eyes of culture...don't limit the definition of "beauty" by the constrains of culture. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you ARE beautiful...whether dirty or clean, fat or skinny, tall or short, blond or brunette. Again, we are God's creation, and God's creation is BEAUTIFUL. The next time someone tells you..."You are beautiful"...don't receive it...as if you are the author of that beauty...but rather give thanks to YOUR Creator in HEAVEN....who ascribed this beauty to you...which you did not earn or obtain from yourself.
