You're Beautiful

Do you ever find yourself just in awe of something pretty? To some women, it's shoes or a sparkling ring or even another women's hair (because who doesn't want good hair, I mean come on!) For guys, even though I wouldn't necessarily say they would use the word pretty, they can be in awe of a new fast car or how fast a man can run or a snow covered mountain they want to conquer. All these things, places, and people are pretty. But sometimes it's nice to give recognition to THE man who is the creator of all things pretty. 

God is the source of all things that are beautiful, awe inspiring, enchanting, breath taking. Yet, how often do we stop and tell him so. Do you stop when you are driving down the road at 7 am to tell God how beautiful His sunrise is?! Or look at an ocean and be amazed at how it has life under the water?! There are SO many things that we can say are beautiful. I can't help but smile every time I see a pretty skyline :)

As a woman, I love hearing those words "You're Beautiful." I believe everyone wants to hear those words. When God created each and everyone of you, he believed you were beautiful, even in the womb! Kinda crazy to think of, right?! Ecclesiastes 3:11 says "He has made everything beautiful in its time." I didn't plan on this post being about two different things, but it's turning out that way. 

1. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. If you are reading this and don't believe it, say it out loud & let it soak in. Beauty is not just for the skinny, the tanned, the talented, or the rich. Beauty is YOURS because Christ has given it to you. So receive it! Don't let others tell you different. Don't let your MIND tell you different, because I've been there, and it's ridiculous. Take control of your thoughts & begin believing what God has to say about you..."you are the apple of his eye"

2. TELL GOD "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!" We all have things we are thankful for, and sharing those things with God brings him joy. Whether it's a child he's blessed you with, a spouse, a job, a friend who has taught you a lesson, grace, even shade in the heat, there is something to thank God for. And isn't that something that is beautiful?! He has blessed us with so many different things, and each one holds its own beauty. So God, I just want to tell you how beautiful YOU are, and how beautiful all the things in my life are because of YOU.

Be blessed my beautiful friends!
