You've heard it a thousand times before, beauty is skin deep. Our mom's have always told us that its what inside that matters most. If this is true why do so many of us strive to look so good on the outside while dying on the inside. Our pain isn't skin deep. We can smile and put on the best act in the world but no matter how hard we try our lives will never be truley beautiful until we are georgeous from inside out. This has become really apparent to me lately.
The world is obsessed with georgeous, skinny, successful people. You will make it far in life if you have those three qualities. Sadly genuine, faithful, and steadfast are looked over and only the stongest survive. Our hearts are ignored for outter beauty that people go great lengths to achieve. My life has been far too long focused on looking good on the outside and wondering why i feel an empyness. Focusing on yourself only emphasizes the areas you come up short and makes you wonder why you cannot be perfect. The image of perfection is a dangerous addiction that will drive you crazy to try and reach. Im slowly healing from that addiction and realizing that in my weakness Jesus is strong. In the areas i cannot fill my God is there to overflow. Lies of the enemy are available without end. Lies plastered on magazine covers, airbrushed models, self-help books all offering a quick fix. I'd like a quick fix but realize that this addiction to being perfect did not happen overnight. It's been a series of lies that i have given up my control to. Being out of control and unhappy inside makes the most georgeous person ugly. I want to be pretty, stunning and beautiful. But the difference is i dont want to become that way with make-up or a trip to the salon. I want to become beautiful, steadfast, and genuine from the inside out.
