You're beautiful, you are treasured, you are sacred, you are His.

I was feeling a bit insecure and discouraged earlier. It was one of those times where I could feel myself slipping into that darkness. I turned the radio on and Beautiful by Mercy Me was playing. When it comes on I always sing along and generally enjoy the song, but tonight I really listened. God knew exactly what i needed to hear tonight. He knew exactly what was on my heart and sent me encouragement. This morning i was upset as well and my best friend randomly showed up when I was about to breakdown. It gave me so much encouragement. It's small things like that that people take for granted, it's small things like getting to hear a loved one tell you they love you that people take for granted. God sends us precious gifts and blessings everyday. Wanna know the biggest one? God loves us enough that he sent his own son Jesus Christ to die for our sins on the cross. Jesus died so we could live! I have an amazing Lord that blesses me daily and yet I complain about small things and doubt my beauty. There's no use in complaining because it won't solve anything, just be happy with what you have. Never doubt your beauty, don't give satan the satisfaction. God took time out of making the oceans and the beautiful mountains to pick the color of my eyes and the shape of my nose. He picked every single thing out about me; my sense of humor, my thoughtfulness, my passion for things I love. Everything about me is unique. There's not another person on this earth that is like me! I'm one of a kind and so are you! He made me this way for a reason and I will embrace it! "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight". -1 Peter 3:3-4
He has a big plan for me and I'm really trying to focus on His will for me rather than my own worldly worries and stresses. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11. His plan is bigger than anything I could ever dream of, there's no use in me trying to take the pen out of God's hands. He's writing my story, not me. I don't want to live my life for myself, I want to live it for Him! I pray that through everything I do I let God make my decisions and I let Him make these changes in my heart. I pray I let his light shine through me. I pray that I surrender to myself daily and trust Him with it all. I pray that all praise and glory be to God. My amazing Abba <3 I love you so much. Thank you for the beautiful lessons you teach me and for the many blessings you give me.
