How many times do you look in the mirror and not like what you see? Maybe you are getting ready for a big fancy event, feeling so pretty and then you look in the mirror and think "well then... that's not what I was expecting to see." and you are filled with overwhelming disappointment. And lets be honest, it takes a while to get out of the funk that we've put ourselves in. It can feel like we can never get out of this dark place because of how long we have been in it. Maybe for some, you have looked at yourself negatively for such a long time, you have forgotten what it is like to love you in your own skin. It is a struggle that we all deal with at some point to some extent, some more than others. Since we all have this problem, how can we ever get out? Am I going to get out of hating what I see in the mirror? Is there a fix for this self hatred?
Yes. There is definitely an answer to all of this! You just have to look in the right place! If we look in the book of Genesis, It says So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.(1:27) Can you even imagine that you were created to look like a perfect God that invented beauty itself? Do you trust that his standards of beauty are better than yours? He designed the very hairs on your head, and he designed how you feel, and has such a plan for your life.
When we look at ourselves with self hatred, or disappointment, it is so destructive to our minds, and Satan can use that to manipulate our thoughts to something God doesn't want for you!
You were beautifully designed,
You are desirable,
and you are cherished,
no matter what you think about yourself!
