Last year I was asked to write an excerpt for a book a member of my church was publishing. The book's intentions were to empower women emotionally and spiritually. Here is what I wrote...
It continually amazes me how we, as women, judge ourselves
based on the reflection in the mirror.
Society is consistently telling us to be thinner, taller, prettier. Until it decides that we are too thin, too
tall, or too pretty.
This worldly pressure put on women is based on physical
attributes and trendy flings. And we get
so caught up in it that even at our best, we aren’t pleased with
ourselves. We are still pinching that
half inch of skin below our belly
button or teasing our hair to abnormal heights.
When in reality, the reflection we need to be truly
concerned with is the one of our hearts.
True beauty is found within the depths of our core where no mirror may
go. Feeling beautiful isn’t about a
layer of paint on your face or the fabric on your hips. Beauty is not an adjective, but a verb.
The most beautiful women are those that house a gentle and
warm spirit. The only way to see this
beauty is to experience it. This beauty
is a gift given and received with unconditional love. The most beautiful women aren’t sporting
designer labels; they are, instead, clothed in self-confidence.
Don’t be beauty. Do beauty.
Agree 100%. Society has a way of morphing beauty causing women, men, and children to feel lost in the real beauty, the real value of themselves. Love it. well written//well said!!
