1Peter 3:3-4
What matters is not your outer appearance―the styling of your hair, the jewelry you wear, the cut of your clothes-but your inner disposition. Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in. (The Message)
Did you get that? It doesn't matter what you look like! Now, you might be thinking this... "Really?!? It doesn't matter?!? So does that mean I don't have to spend 20 minutes on my hair in the morning?!? Wow!". I know that I personally spend way to much time on my hair and clothes in the morning.. :). But I guess for some people looking nice is just a way of boosting self esteem.. But the HUGE problem with us girls in this generation is that we care WAY to much about what other people think of us. But you know what? We don't need to look good and act cool to be happy! God doesn't care about what you look like in the morning! You could be the ugliest person on planet Earth and God would still love you! We don't need to flaunt our bodies and show skin just to get attention! Cuz you know what? WE NEED TO STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK! Yea, it's hard.. But SO WHAT? It won't kill us to do a few hard things in our lives! We were not created to just be pretty little things for boys to stare at... WE WERE MEANT FOR MORE! God has a perfect plan for your life. It can be difficult to live the way God wants us to.. But, again, WHO CARES? What can be more fullfilling then living for Jesus? NOTHING! So lets make a change in this world!!! Lets take a stand for PURITY! Let's stand for MODESTY! Sure, their not very popular things to stand for but who cares about being popular? Lets be popular with God! Be beautiful on the inside.. And that will be even more noticable then if you had 20 pounds of make-up on your face! And one more thing... Guard your heart.. It's valuable.. Don't give little peices of it away to a bunch of boys.. Cuz they won't treasure you as much as God does.. And He has a special someone out there just for you.. And while your waiting, why not fall on love with God? You never know, some amazing things might happen!
God Bless,
Sarah
