YOU'RE To Die For!

Do you ever feel useless? Unloved? Worthless? Not good enough? Not needed?
Let's face it. At one point or another, you've felt like that. And no matter what you do to try to convince yourself, a little voice comes into your head and says, "You're not good enough...you're not needed. You're not pretty enough."
We look in the mirror and only see the imperfections. The pimples, the crooked teeth, the messy hair. Everything that makes us a little bit different.
We want to be like the girls in the magazines. No matter how many times we hear those girls are airbrushed and not the real thing, we still want to look like that. They're beautiful.
Although I still have these terrible thoughts of not being good enough, no matter how many times I remind myself that I am, there are a couple of things that I keep telling myself, over and over and over.
First off, we are ALL beautiful. Everyone one of us. Doesn't matter what your skin color is, whether you're skinny or not, whether your hair is straight or curly.
"...God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." - Genesis 1:27
Why should we, for one second, say that we're ugly or not good enough, when we are made in God's image? Isn't it that when we scrutinize every little thing about ourselves, we're questioning the way God made us?
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." - Psalm 139:13-14
Wow, so God knew what we would look like and who we would be from the time we were in our mother's wombs.
He created us in his image.
So the truth is, it's the devil's voice we hear when we feel we're not good enough. He's trying to make us feel that way because if we feel inferior and less than enough, he wins.
The next time you hear that little voice when you look in the mirror and don't see what you want to see, push those thoughts away and say, "You know what? god made me this way...he loves me and I am going to love me, too."
The devil will cower and know that God won this battle. I'm sure you'd much rather listen to God than to the devil.
Because the devil says, "You're not good enough."
But God says, "You're to die for."
