(The following is a poem I wrote about a year ago. One thing that girls particularly struggle with is beauty. I know I struggle with beauty. Not just physical beauty but inner beauty, as well. Most of the time, I just see all of my failures and imperfections. However, something I'm still learning is that I am human, am going to mess up, and that God, in His love, looks past all of those things in me to see Christ's righteousness, despite myself.)
You are beautiful,
No matter what anyone else says,
No matter what anyone else thinks about you.
Their opinions do not define you;
God does.
He knows who you are:
You are His.
No one can take that away from you;
Not your so-called friends,
Not your enemies,
Not even a guy in whom you want to find your worth;
Your identity is found in Him.
The One Who gave Himself for you,
The One Who loved you enough to take your imperfection
And turn it into something beautiful.
The One Who saw your worthless and helpless state
And saved your life from an eternity of hell,
Making you worthy in His sight because of Christ.
He loves you.
Isn’t He enough?
Isn’t He worth living for?
Love Him…
Because He loves you
More than you will ever comprehend
And He is enough…
