Self Image

~When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Many kids, teens, and adults see only an ugly face in their reflection. They just see their flaws and that makes them feel ugly. Maybe they have no flaws at all but something somebody might have said has made them feel inferior. That's not what God sees when He looks at you.
When you look at your body, what do you see? Many see imperfections. But, God sees his image. And the way he made you is perfect! There may be something "wrong" with the way you look, talk, or feel but God designed us to have these flaws to glorify Him.
-Height doesn't matter. Kick weight our the door. Scars, in the trash. Any "imperfection" you can find are just imperfections to you. God sees a perfect work of art. He knows what purpose you will serve and that's why He made you the way you are. We might not be the prettiest girl in our school,church, or friends. We might not have the biggest muscles in our school, church, or friends. But when God sees us He sees His creation. He sees a miracle.

-Isaiah 53:2 talks about how outward beauty is not related to inward happiness. You don't have to be pretty or handsome to be happy. Some of the most miserable people are who most people thing are the best looking. True beauty comes from the heart. If you don't have love, then wheres your beauty?
True happiness comes from God. A life of total dependence on God will bring you true happiness.
~ Any "defect" you may have shows ownership. Who do you think allowed you to have that special "Flaw"? God did. Now thank God for that flaw and for showing His ownership on you by giving you this "defect".
