Quiet The Noise

The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance, but The Lord looks at the heart. 
                                  1 Samuel 16:7

    Why is it that the world is so loud? Just look, everyday we are bombarded by society.
Society tells us how we should act, and ultimately how we should look. I see it everyday, a young girl or boy who can't see themselves as beautiful. Instead they see what the world does, they do not measure up to that picture in the magazine. We are bombarded by pictures and magazines everyday. The world tries to tell us what "perfect" is and the sad thing is, we believe it.

 We believe that we need to look like the models we see on TV in order to fit in. And if we do not achieve the looks from the magazines we go on to hate ourselves. We hate the way our bodies look, so we try and try to change but are always ending up short of something. You have probably heard it before or even said it. "My hair is ugly." "My thighs are fat." "Oh! I wish I could look like her!"

 Heck! I've said those same things! This is something we all have struggled with. Come on, you can't tell me you've never looked into the minor one morning and thought "Wow! I look awful!"  Like I said, this is something everyone struggles with. There are times when I wish I could have better hair or be a smaller size. This is something that I struggle with on a daily basis. But The Lord has really been working in me this past year showing me my worth in Him.

  Our bodies are handcrafted by the God of the universe! And yet we still think we need to be thinner taller or better looking. If you think about it, it's kinda insulting God when we say stuff like that. He made us with His bare hands! He did not make any mistakes when He created you. He created you to be a one of a kind person, meaning there is no one else like you. God knew what He was doing when He created you. He didn't make your nose too big, or your thighs too fat. You are a Beautiful creation of our King! You are Beautiful, You are a Beloved Son or Daughter of the King. You are adored by Him so much! Lets Quiet The Noise around us and focus on how God see us...NOT the world.

Growing up I have always had "My songs". Songs that I have related with and have helped me when I was going through something hard. My favorite song is More Beautiful You, by Jonny Diaz. It is a really true song and it helps me when I have those days. Below I am going to give you the lyrics. Read them and remember that there could never be a more beautiful you.

Thanks,
