    Most women are far more beautiful without makeup, without bling, without extensions, without fake nails and body parts, without plumped up faces, lips, eyes or behinds.

    God made you perfect, ladies... don't look at yourself with such disgust, with such hate.. you are beautiful. You are you, not the girl next to you in line, not your co-worker, not the girl next door. You're made perfectly to be just who you are. You don't need to look like every other girl out there, that "perfection" is far from perfection. It's fake, it's ugly, and its made from lies. Look in the mirror and tell your mirror self that YOU are BEAUTIFUL. Take care of yourself, spend time grooming, go ahead and pamper yourself! Your body is a temple, treat it that way. Realize that there is no one else who looks like you, and THAT is a GOOD thing. Be you. Be happy. Don't believe lies or fall into worldy traps.

    And..

    Guys.. don't let the world fool you. You don't need to be ripped to prove you're a man. You don't need to be tall dark and handsome to find love. And you DON'T need a girlfriend or wife to be "legit" in life. You don't have to be a lawyer or doctor to matter. You don't need to be a knight in shining armor. Be who you want to be. And as long as you are taking care of yourself, how you should be... you're on the right track. Don't fall into the worldly traps, don't tell yourself lies. Be proud of who you are, and know that God made YOU perfect as well. This world can be just as hard on guys as it is on girls, so guard yourself against that. It doesn't matter if you're tall and awkward, short and chubby, have a fro and freckles, or if you're average. You're beautiful because you were made to be just who you are.

    The real problem isn't that they aren't secure in who they are, it's that they aren't secure in who God is. What I mean by that is, if their sense of security, sense of worth, sense of who they are rested in their relationship with the Lord, and if they knew anything about who God is, then the rest would fall into place because they would know how GOD feels about them, and that would be sufficient. The best way I can explain this is to compare it to my relationship with my husband. I don't know what people think of my physical appearance. I don't care what people think of my physical appearance because I'm not trying to attract THEM, I have no reason to attract them. I want to attract my husband. And I do. He thinks I'm super hot, and since he's the only one I care about looking at me, then we're golden. He asked me not to wear makeup or do my hair for our wedding, so you know what? I was a bare-faced, straight haired bride, and it still doesn't matter what anyone else thinks - I was beautiful because Michael thought I was beautiful. The same is true of having your self-worth rest in the Lord. Get what I mean? That's also the reason why they never seem to receive it well when you try to tell them things like, "Oh no, Helga, you're not fat, you're BEAUTIFUL!" or, "You don't need to work out, Chad, you're handsome as it is!" or, "Job, you don't need a tall, hot blonde for a wife; you'll do fine with a girl who can cook and get those grass stains out of your jeans!" None of those things stab the heart of the problem.
