Who tells us, we're Beautiful?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That is a famous quote that comes from Margaret Hungerford. I’ve said this multiple times, but I think that now I’m beginning to understand it’s in meaning in a different way.

Often in today’s culture we look at the media to tell us how our bodies should be shaped, how our hair should be fixed, and how we should act or talk.

Well, this quote always said to me, “Don’t look at yourself negatively or you’ll never be satisfied when you look in to the mirror. You’re going to be beautiful in certain people’s eyes but yet what matters most is your opinion of yourself.”

When I put more focus on who the beholders should be in my life; I automatically think, “Look to those or are important to you and see what they say is special and beautiful about you.”

In the quote above, beauty does not have to be limited to our appearance. For example some people have beautiful singing voices, according to some people. Although the same person might have an awful singing voice in another person’s opinion. Every person (beholder) has a different opinion or outlook on life. Therefore, we might rely on our friends to give their opinion occasionally – we shouldn’t rely on them fully because they are people and they make mistakes.

God, on the other hand doesn’t make mistakes. God is our creator, but yet at the same time our beholder. It is up to you whether you let Him have that special position in your eyes. When we allow God to become our beholder we become more confident and joyful about ourselves. God made you, and He knows every little detail about you. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head. He loves you and He wants you to trust Him, by calling whatever you do to serve Him beautiful. By letting God become our beholder, we don’t have to rely on humans to determine our worth and beauty.

Anything you do to glorify our Heavenly Father will be beautiful in His eyes! So sing praises to Him even if you think your voice is horrible or even if people say you sing bad. God made you! It’s that simple and He loves the way you sing and look.

By letting other people put you down by telling you in any way or form that you aren’t beautiful or can’t accomplish beautiful things, you hurt God. God made you and you are beautiful, but when you let people convince you that you aren’t – it’s wrong because HE MADE YOU and you are made in HIS IMAGE. God wants you to trust Him. Trust Him to know that and you are beautiful and whatever you do to further His Kingdom is beautiful, as well.

Let your Father, tell you that you’re beautiful. Do you let others decide your beauty or do you let God tell you how beautiful, you really are? No one can tell you you’re beautiful the way God can. God bless you and embrace your beauty.
