You are Beautiful!

J.M.J.

When you look in the mirror everyday, what do you see? Let me describe for you my experience. Let me warn you that what you are about to read is a distortion of truth. Trick of Satan!

I wake up and wander into the bathroom. I avoid looking at my reflection because, you know, I'm not beautiful. As I wash my face, I notice each blemish. I notice how much my nose sticks out. All the pores seem huge. Oh, and my face has irritation sometimes. I'm ugly. Not worthy. Undesirable.

I put on makeup because, you know, I'm ugly. So I have to try to make some attempt to cover up all the ugliness. It won't help, but I'm supposed to put on makeup to be accepted in public. I carefully apply layers of makeup everywhere. I sigh, not satisfied, and walk out the door.

Does this sound familiar? This is what happens to me all too often when I listen to Satan's lies. Sometimes, I don't recognize it's him. I just know that I feel terrible about my appearance. It's all lies.

Maybe you, like me, follow Instagram accounts and read magazines that make you feel bad about how you look. Stop following those accounts! Put down those magazines! It's not worth it, and it's fake anyway!
