you ARE beautiful.

I know you've heard it a million times, and each time you don't believe it.  I know that it means nothing coming from me, but here's the thing.

It's the truth.

I don't care if you're a size one or a size ten.  If you're super tall or a munchkin from The Wizard of Oz.  If your hair is blonde, brown, red, black, or some crazy awesome color like neon pink.  If you have the latest trends or clothes from a consignment store.  If you're Dad's a millionaire or if the daughter of an average Joe.  If you're ingeniously smart or if you have to stop and think.  If you have a boyfriend or your single.

You ARE beautiful.

But if you still aren't convinced, keep reading.

Want nice skin?  God tells us that those who look to him are radiant, and that there'll never be shame on their faces. (Psalm 34:5)

Concerned about clothes? The lilies in the fields are beautiful, and they don't even have clothes.  So why so you be worried about the price tag on your shirts and the label on your jeans? (Matthew 6:28)

Worried about everything in general?  God said 'a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised' in Proverbs 31.  Does it say the skinny girls will be praised?  The ones with clothes from Abercrombie and Fitch?  The ones with a boyfriend?  NO!

It says that the God-lovers will.
