WOW!

Words cannot describe my feelings right now. I was reading my friend Jared's blog from the other day, and he was talking about how men don't really value a women or at least how he doesn't really show her who she is in Christ. Along with his blog came the video for a song called "A More Beautiful You." It made me stop and wonder...how many women out there feel the same way I do when it comes to being imperfect and flawed, not having that perfect body, or the perfect skin?! I know as Christians we are supposed to live above that standard that the world puts on us, but at times we do let it get to us, because it is rubbed in our faces on an everyday basis on how you have to be that size 2 and have the perfect skin and hair. In this moment it struck me, God has fearfully and wonderfully made us, we are perfect in His eyes, because of the price that He paid with His son.

In Jared's blog he also says that a women is perfect based on her heart, not her status, money or anything else that the world deems as important. I also think that many times we as women, when we talk to one another so often are the words "well did you see so and so gained some weight since the last time I saw her..." I know the words are exactly directed at us, but it gets our minds thinking that if they talk about another women like that, then what are they saying about me?! We as women should encourage one another, help build someone up instead of tearing them down. Just like what we should be doing to everyone else in the world. Jesus said in scripture that if a man should strike you on your right cheek turn your left one to him for him to strike that one too! It's not about the eye for eye, or tooth for tooth! It's about loving one another, and more importantly showing them the love of Jesus! Many God bless you.....
