God Sees You As Beautiful!

I use to have low self-esteem several years back. Sadly, I could not look in the mirror and call myself beautiful. I repeatedly cut myself down in front of others without realizing not only was I hurting myself, but I was hurting them and God. Listen, we were created in the image of God. If you insult yourself, you insult God's work. I remember the year God started dealing with me about my self-esteem; I didn't need certain friends, a certain man, certain clothes, or a certain body size to be beautiful or see myself as beautiful. I only needed to see myself as God sees me, which is beautiful enough to send His one and only Son to suffer and die on the cross for me. Praise God, I got past that period of low self-esteem and gained confidence in myself. I look in the mirror everyday and I call myself beautiful, even if I am not put together, my hair isn't comb, or I am not wearing any makeup, jewelry, etc. I don't allow the enemy to let me dwell on someone's rude comments in the past, present or future. I plow my way through that because those comments do not define me. The Lord is pleading with someone to call yourself beautiful. Let the past hurtful words go. That is the work of the enemy. Just remember when you insult yourself, you are insulting what God created when He created you!
