As I spoke with my girlfriend this morning, she complained of all the pain in her life, in her joints even – she complained about the fact that she looked so terrible that she couldn’t go to the bank during the day and needed to go after office hours. Her main concern is that health-wise and physically she looks so horribly that she cannot be among the “rest of the world”. Her comments pained me – in my very soul the picture she painted hurt like a dagger had pierced my very side.
Without thinking, without missing a heart beat, God’s spirit inspired me to remind her that she is a child of a king, that she is beautiful and even when we don’t think so, we have to force ourselves to look in the mirror and say it. Remind our inner being of how wonderfully made we are. As I spoke she started to cry – and the more she cried the more I told her that she was a wonderful person, that she was beautiful that God made her in his image.
Today, let us be each other’s keeper – let us encourage each other to move on to be the best that we can possibly be. Spend more time in the mirror, admire the beautiful person God made and above all encourage yourself to live the life even when life is painful.
Beauty, it is always more skin deep - therefore when you see a pimple and a blemish here and there, think about how pure your heart is and you will instantly know that you are a great person!
