You Are All Beautiful!

I heard this song the other day and it was interesting because I had been really struggling with some insecurities of mine. Women so often feel insecure about our appearance. We're afraid we look fat, or ugly, and are always striving to be perfect, gorgeous, stunning, and trying to live up to this false standard the media puts forth for us to live up to and we're not good enough unless we can meet these standards of beauty, which are all ridiculous, and impossible to achieve because we are all human and imperfect, plus almost all of those images are computer edited, so how are we supposed to successfully look like an image that is so perfect only because of computer editing? We're not! We are all beautiful just the way we are! God made us beautiful!

One of my favorite bible verses comes from Song of Songs 4:7. This verse states "You are all beautiful, my beloved, there is no blemish within you" How true is this! We are all made in the image and likeness of a perfect God. We are perfect in the eyes of the Father! He loves us just where we are and just how we are.

A great quote from St. Rose of Lima

"Lord, help me to remember what is really important:
That I am Your child
You are my Father
You love me for who I am and how I live,
not what I look like or what I own.
Let me praise you who sees into my heart, who is always with me, and who eases my suffering."


Remember, my dear friends, we are all beautiful and we are all loved by our Father in heaven. You are never alone and you are so loved. Take your insecurities to the Lord and seek him for comfort and consolation when you struggle with your image.

God bless!
Keep praying!

In Jesus&Mary,
