Women Empowering Women {Day Two}

 

A story about feeling empowered that you are beautiful in God’s eyes....

 

As women, we have a lot of standards that society gives us to live up too. Who we hangout with, what we wear, our body size, our makeup, hair, all aspects of society that focus on outward beauty instead of inward. With so much technology at our fingertips these days it is easy to get caught up in society’s image of what a beautiful women should look like.

 

I would like to remind all you lovely women that all of us our made to be different then the person who is next to us, as God made us unique and beautiful in His image. We all have qualities inside and out that make us beautiful. “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.” 1 Peter 3:3-4

 

Nothing is wrong with getting dressed up and feeling beautiful on the outside, but it is important to remember that if we are beautiful on the inside that we radiate that beauty onto others that we spend time with. People are attracted to those who are kind, open, and compassionate because that type of beauty is what makes friendships, relationships, and keeps us all connected. When we have these traits, this can help us lead others to God, which is what our calling is.

 

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30 though it is lovely to have compliments on outward appearance, it is so much more important to know that you are pleasing to God through your actions. The blessings that God can shower on you for being a positive influence on others will far outweigh beauty that does not last forever. Compliments on having a beautiful personality is something we should never take for granted!

 

Everyone has there own kind of beautiful, feel empowered that you are beautiful in God’s eyes and that he has an incredible plan for you life if you choose to follow His ways. Society does not get to deem who is beautiful and who is not. You are beautiful, inside and out. Never forget that fact! Love yourself, just as God loves you.
