One of my friends recently expressed to me some of her insecurities about her appearance. The conversation reminded me of myself a few years ago. My appearance, especially my imperfections and my size, were almost always on my mind. I often looked at other girls and felt jealous of their appearance and I would compare myself to them or wish that I looked more like them. I felt unhappy with myself and I never felt 'ok' or good enough. Although I was striving for 'beauty', what I truly desired was to feel accepted. I wanted to be released from the cycle of trying harder to look like other 'more beautiful' girls but, after every attempt to change my self, being left still feeling unhappy and dissatisfied.
Jesus Christ removed me from the cycle of insecurity in which I was stuck. I still have times when I feel unhappy with myself, or when I base my value and self-worth off things that are of this world, but deep down, I know that Jesus loves me anyway even with all my insecurity and imperfections. His love makes me good enough!
