Well I think I just may have seen it all… So much in the media that tells me that if I look, talk, act a certain way then I will be beautiful.
To be truthful, I look around at the standards being set for younger generations and I fear for my own children someday to grow up in such perilous times…
We are all in need of love, and we can have access to a Savior who literally IS love. Thank God that we as Christians can rest in that. I am so sad for the younger girls who look at the media, and what it says in order to feel something. I remember being that young girl, so naive, so seemingly sure of what I wanted (but really let’s face it I had no clue.) My heart hurts for these young girls who think that they have to be a certain way to feel loved. Or that they need to fit in to some category to be noticed. I want to sit with them all and just tell them how uniquely gorgeous they really are.. From the inside out!
Lets be the mouthpiece of God… Lets speak up and be a generation that makes people aware of the enemy’s lies. He will try and crush the spirits of young women all over the earth if we don’t speak life into them. For some people, we could be their only hope…
Lets be a voice, Lord knows they need it.
So true. You just captured so many of my thoughts..especially thoughts I had today. I can’t imagine a life without the love of Christ because even in having it, I seem to fall into the trap of what the world says I need to be in order to be beautiful..to be loved. Thanks for the reminder. It’s important stuff.
ps -I love your blog. You are speaking some serious truth and that’s what I love.
