What Does Beauty Mean to YOU?

What is beauty? Is it being brave and not wearing make up for a day? Is it telling someone they are beautiful, just to be nice? Is it getting that cute boy to notice you? Is it winning the Most Popular award? The World tells us how to be beautiful... on the outside..

So this question arises... what does beauty mean to you? Does it matter if your eyes are too small, your nose too big, your lips to small? It shouldn't, but most of America would answer YES it does. Truth is, it doesn't and it shouldn't. TRUE beauty comes from the inside. Are you being kind and thoughtful of others? Following God's plan for your life instead of your own? Are you confident of who you are? Not worrying about what others think and achieving your personal goals for God? Beauty comes when you love God and you love your life!

I promise you, people will notice when you change from worrying about what the World thinks of your beauty to knowing you are beautiful because YOU are God's creation and he makes no mistakes. Does this mean never wear make up again? No way, use what God gave you! Everything is good in moderation though, and ask yourself why you wake up 20 minutes early every day just to make sure your makeup reaches perfection. Is it to impress that hottie in your math class? Or even make your girlfriends jealous because you are more 'beautiful'? Has being 'beautiful' by the World's standards consumed you so that's all you think about anymore?

Think about why you do what you do to become more 'beautiful'.. ask yourself if the people you're trying to impress will still like you when beauty fades away and personality is all that's left?

Follow God and take care of what he has given you. Try to focus on staying healthy and making sure you're beautiful on the inside and confident before you slather 2 pounds of make up on your face to impress the people that won't love you for who you are if they never see the TRUE you.
