Beauty

Have you found yourself confused by the worlds view of beauty?? I think that is because no one is ever really happy with they way they are.... the gossip magazines are criticizing one celebrity because they are too fat and in the same pages are concerned another one is too thin. No one seems to know where to draw the line. I've been listening to Amy Grant's new album and one of the songs says " You're lovely even with your scars".. what powerful words that we don't hear often enough. Most times we hear..you could be beautiful "if"... scars are part of who we are... just like wrinkles and gray hair... and only God can take those scars and see something beautiful. Now if we can just learn to see ourselves as God sees us, we'd all be better off. As we start this journey, remember... God created us, know us, and loves us even with our scars. Today I will pray that our scars will become part of this framework of a healthy body and healthy mind..and be beautiful to us as well.
