You Are Beautiful Because You Are Loved



Sharing this blog post from Ann Voskamp today. 
"The world has enough women who know how to do their hair. 
It needs women who know how to do hard and holy things."


I wish I could read this to my teenage self or even my twenty something self. Oh how I looked for love in all the wrong places. All the time I lost hoping for a boy to just love me for me.

Girls, if your earthly father didn't love you unconditionally or your mother didn't teach you that you should treat your body with honor because it belongs to God, you have a Heavenly Father who loves you and thinks you're beautiful because you were made in His likeness. He stands in the gaps where others have failed us. No need to be bitter, as God is continuing to write your story this very day.  
"Listen to The Voice who assures: I am making your good decisions work for good — and I am working your bad decisions into the best loving plan for your ultimate good.” 

True romance is falling in love with Jesus the way I did 4 years ago. It's a perfect love. 
I have been redeemed and
I will never ever be the same...
