The first song on my playlist is "Beautiful" by Bethany Dillon. I thought I would explain why that song means so much to me.
When I was a teenager I had VERY bad Cystic acne. I never felt beautiful. As an adult I am now left with significant scarring from that acne. I went years wearing my hair long to cover up my "ugly" scarred face, being careful to not make eye contact with anyone. When I finally found a man that "loved" me despite the ugliness I had 2 kids with him. It was so easy to overlook the fact that he was a drug addict. Afterall...he "loved" ME. After my kids were born I started to slowly stop dwelling on my shortcomings and focus completely on them. I realized that THEY deserved better even if I didn't SO...I left their dad and started going to church.
What an elightening thing it was to learn that God made ME and loved ME just the way I am. I am perfect to Him.
One day I heard the song "Beautiful" and broke down crying. I was always trying SO hard to please the mirror when I had ALWAYS been beautiful in my Fathers eyes.
Yes, I still have days when I look in the mirror and am less than satisfied with who looks back at me but then I remember, HE makes me beautiful! He makes YOU beautiful too!
Blessings to you...
Have a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!
