Being Fat and Ugly- or your not!


“I’m fat!” “My face is so disgusting!” “I wish I had her figure” “ I don’t like my legs.”
Through the years I hear these complaints all the time and I hear them more and more now that I am getting older and many of my friends are not teenagers anymore. Have you ever thought that every time you look at yourself in the mirror and find something to complain about you are bashing what a beautiful creation God made? Have you realized that he took that time to make each part of you? He took the time to make your hair hair, straight, curly, thick or thin, He made your legs, your hands, your eyes, your whole complexion, everything about you God made. And He made you uniquely you.  There is no other like you out there in this whole world.  He created you special and unique and the last thing he wants to hear is how you don’t like something about you that he designed specifically for you. He made you perfect in his eyes and you dogging yourself in the mirror or in front of your friends makes the God of the universe upset. He wants you to love yourself looks and all. Some of us he gave high metabolisms too, some of us don’t have that, we have the opposite problem and we look at food and it puts weight on us no matter how healthy you may eat. But the point isn’t about your weight or how clear your skin is or how long your legs are or how other areas of your body may be attractive to other humans, remember that God made each and every part of you so unique and special and he loves each and every inch of you he created.
So women of the faith and not in the faith please always remember how beautiful you are to God and please stop degrading the art work which the Lord has made you into.  Rainbows, mountains and diamonds are all things God made, but you he made special. You are so unique to him that there is no other equal!
Psalm 139 13-15 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. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
    Most of all my beautiful sisters in Christ remember this, the God of the universe saw you and made you and has a plan for you and each part of you is beautiful to Him.  You are never going to change his mind about you and the beauty he created no matter how hard you try. Thank him and give him praise in the beauty He gave only to you. Look and see the beautiful creation the Lord has made you to be!
