Miss Modesty - You Are Beautiful

First of all, thanks for reading my blog post, I really hope I can touch a lot of girls with it.

I know in school, and pretty much everywhere else as well, there is a question EVERY girl wants answered. And she doesn't just want it from people who will tell her what she wants to hear. She wants to truly know if she is beautiful. Some girls will even take 'pretty' at the state they're in. Well ladies, guess what, I say you are sooo much more than pretty, you are BEAUTIFUL!

Then you ask, “How do you know? You haven't even seen me.” If you literally asked what was in that quote before you even saw it, then you obviously don't think very highly of yourself. That's sad.=(

The real problem with insecurity starts with you. Yes with you. You are the one who allows people to let you down by telling you you're ugly. And for this you are willing to destroy yourself further by cutting yourself, doing drugs, getting odd piercings, smoking, and even giving your body away.

And you argue, “But, you don't know what I'm going through.” And you're right I probably don't. As a matter of fact, I have no idea what some of you may be going through.

And may I just say something? Killing yourself is NOT the solution! So PLEASE don't even think about it! It breaks my heart to think that girls are going through this kind of stuff all over the world.

Did you know that the Bible says it's not the outward appearance that counts, it's who you are on the inside:

Charm is deceitful,

and beauty is vain,

but a woman who fears the Lord,

she is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30

And again:

Do not let your adornment be merely outward-

arranging the hair, wearing gold,

or putting on fine apparel.

But let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart,

with the imperishable beauty of a gentle

and quiet spirit which in God's sight is very

precious.

1 Peter 3:3-4

In Proverbs 31:10 it says that the virtuous woman's worth is “far above rubies.”

So, it's what's inside your heart that makes you a truly beautiful person. And it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks of you, it's what God thinks of you. Did you know that if you have been saved and born again into the family of God, the King of Kings, then you are his daughter and are a joint heir with the Prince of Peace (Romans 8:12-17). In case you haven't caught on yet, you my friend are a PRINCESS! Yay! You are a princess, a daughter of the one true King and you wear an invisible crown on your head. In God's eyes you are the most beautiful thing He ever created.

If you're now saying, “But, I'm not saved, so, how could I possibly be a beautiful princess?”

It is SO easy!

All you have to do is ask God, your heavenly Father, to forgive all the sins you ever committed. And He can do it too. Ok, if you're a big girl and know your ABC's, then all you have to do is remember:

A= Admit you're a sinner.

B= Believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He came to earth to die for you because He loves you.

C= Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and you shall be saved.(Romans 10:9)

And that's it! If you can do that, then you can know for a fact, and know in your heart that you are a princess, and that there is Someone who thinks you are beautiful. So, when someone treats you badly, or calls you names, you can turn the other cheek; because the reason they're treating you that way is most likely because they are trying to make you feel as miserable as they do.

So remember that you are beautiful and that God and some weird homeschooler thinks it of you.=)
