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.
