I read my daughters blog entry one day, and this is what a portion of it says:
" I question why no boy will have me and replay all the times that men and women have answered with 'lose weight'. Why should that change anything? Has the world forgotten that not everyone is beautiful? Should we tell the deformed to get plastic surgery, and then they'll have a better chance of finding love? What a wretched way of thinking! I begin to cry and ask God what is wrong with me? I feel like I'm walking so aimlessly......
After I read this, I was so grieved! I then asked the Lord if He would help me to write a poem for my daughter. And this is what He gave me:
Your right, everything God has made, is beautiful indeed,
people can rip out our worth, and discard it like a weed.
I think God holds His creations, very close to His heart,
and I believe He grieves, when people pick apart His art.
God constructed a masterpiece, your a wonderful creation,
that deserves to be marveled at, without having to give an explanation.
Let's look at His work , and see all that we can find,
of how He detailed you, and made you one of a kind.
Let's set aside, of what people think you should be,
and cut that cord, so you can breath on your own and be free.
and rip out that I.V., of the words they're feeding in your veins,
and cut off those shackles, and walk over and take back your reins.
Let's showcase Gods creation, proudly and without any shame,
and let's marvel at each other, knowing He created no one the same.
Everybody has beauty, it all depends how you view,
but it's Gods word you go to, to get a true evaluation of you!
Psalm 139:13-15
[13] For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. [14] I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. [15] My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
1 Peter 3:3-4
[3] Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; [4] But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6
[4] Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. [5] And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. [6] And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
Matthew 23:27-29
(Jesus talking) [27] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. [28] Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. [29] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Isaiah 53-2-6
( This is speaking about Jesus)
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness: and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. [3] He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. [4] Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. [5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. [6] All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Look what Jesus did for us. His appearance wasn't even beautiful, but he did the most beautiful thing for us, which makes him the most beautiful one of all!
Pure unfiltered inspiration is a beautiful thing.
