So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
How this relates to me today: How does it never?
A friend of mine today told me about how they are tired of people judging other people for their outward appearance, and I could not agree more. We were talking more on the lines of simple things like crazy hair colors, clothes, piercings, you get the picture, but I think this can spin in an opposite direction, just with a person's normal God created face and body.
I really don't get what all the fuss is about.
And I would love to believe that this is because I've never been labeled a beautiful girl by societies standards, but I just cannot seem to buy that. And like every girl or woman on the planet, sometimes I look in the mirror and think not-so-nice things about my appearance. But the thing is, this was how I was made.
Morally speaking, I cannot change this face. And why exactly would I want to mess with something God created? Never once have I looked at the sunset, when the sun is just low enough that it looks like the pink and orange clouds swirl together like the expert stroke of a painter's brush and say, "You could have done so much better. Here, let me fix this..."
That's straight up foolish.
In the same way, we should regard our face and body. This isn't to say that we shouldn't be healthy, which is a goal I'm currently striving for, but this is to say that we need to stop seeing our flaws and start seeing ourselves, every freckle, bump, out of place hair, crooked tooth, and funny nose as a personal touch by the Master, that He finds more beautiful than that sunset.
We need to treat ourselves as the masterpieces we are.
Love the way you look-
Ash
