I looked up "What is being beautiful?" on Google.
The results which came up were:
- six steps to becoming beautiful
- what is keeping me from being beautiful
- how much easier would life be, if i were beautiful
- why is it so hard to be considered beautiful
- the importance of being beautiful
What I don't understand is:
Why is it so hard to accept yourself for who god has made you?
Why do we have to layer on the make up before we can go out?
Why do we try to hard to be considered beautiful?
Why is it so important to us to be beautiful to everyone else?
When really we should be living for a one man audience.
And the one man is god.
God made us beautiful, perfect and unique just the way he chose to.
Each of us have different features, yet we still live our lives trying to be someone we are not.
We live our lives to change who god made us to be. But why?
Why do we live our lives trying be someone were not?
Why is it so hard to accept who we are?
No matter how hard we try, we just never accept ourselves.
Beautiful shouldn't be what we look like on the outside.
But what is on the inside.
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight."
1 Peter 3:3-4
The bible even states that beauty comes from the inside and not the outside, yet we still choose to ignore it and believe we are ugly?
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
Ecclesiastes 3:11
God has made each and everyone of us beautiful, Although sometimes hard to believe, It is true and we should learn to believe this. Because no amount of make up will help us become beautiful because God has made us amazingly beautiful inside and out and no one can ever change that. God will always thing we are beautiful and no one else's opinions should ever matter =)
"Beautiful" by Bethany Dillon.
I was so unique
Now I feel skin deep
I count on the make-up to cover it all
Crying myself to sleep cause I cannot keep their attention
I thought I could be strong
But it's killing me
Does someone hear my cry?
I'm dying for new life
I want to be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart,
and be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful
Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me
Fighting to make the mirror happy
Trying to find whatever is missing
Won't you help me back to glory
I want to be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart,
and be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful
You make me beautiful
You make me stand in awe
You step inside my heart, and I am amazed
I love to hear You say
Who I am is quite enough
You make me worthy of love and beautiful
