The video above really got me thinking. How many of us have felt like we weren't enough. We hate our bodies and have the "grass is always greener" outlook when it comes to our appearance. If we have curly hair, we would rather have straight hair. If we have blue eyes, we would rather have green ones. We have a deep seeded dissatisfaction with who we are. We think our identity and our status solely depends on our physical appearance. But, we have this so wrong. We are not to be focused so much on how we look on the outside, but of the condition of our hearts. 1 Samuel 16:7 says, "But the Lord said to Samuel, ' Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." We should focus on making ourselves like Christ. We must treat others with compassion, live a wholesome life that lines up with biblical truth, and much more. And LOVE yourself-Jesus does.
So, first of all I would like to say I hope all of you beautiful people had an amazing weekend! Second of all, I found my God given best friend. Honestly she is seriously the sweetest person ever-not only is she super nice but she is also a mirror image of me. We have almost identical testimonies and home situations and were both baptized around the same time. Both of our baptisms weren't planned and it was to start over. We have everything in common. God truly does answer prayers. Also, through this discovery I have found part of the reason why God gave me a home situation the way He did. It was so that I would be able to help minister and give advice to Lindsay through all of her struggles right now from past experience. God works in such amazing ways! (: I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my weekend.
