Woman's Worth
These days men seem to only be attracted to body without even beginning to know the soul of me. I am so much more worth the size of my bust, waist, butt, and hips. I am a woman fearfully and wonderfully created in the image of God. I do not mind a compliment but I would rather be thought of as a smart woman than a beautiful woman, love more for the way I think and feel than appearances. These features only last so long, after babies and life's journey my body will then change and I want someone who is captivated every time I step in the room, every time I gaze in his eyes. My looks do not determine my character. T.D. Jakes says, "The greater part of her attractiveness lies within; it wells up from the inside and finds an appropriate creative expression on the outside." In 1 Peter 3:4 says, the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit has a great price in the sight of God.

Unfortunatly society puts such an impact on physicial appearance that the mind takes a backseat. I truely believe that beauty shines from the inside out. I know many "good looking" people who are ugly on the inside and it shows. Unfortunately these people normally get more attention from members of the opposite sex and in the job place.
ReplyDeleteThat being said... I also belive that there are people out there who see deeper than a size 2, nice skin, and a perfect body. They may be few and far between, but those are the people who matter and who I strive to seek out in my daily life. Surrounding yourself with people who see "true" beauty is very important.
Also, confidence in your own beauty is necessary in this harsh world.
