As I stroll by, I see countless girls. You can tell in their
eyes that they just want to feel loved.
Feel beautiful. Feel worthy. If they only knew!
As I approach the mirror I see my reflection.
Those days, when I simply don’t feel beautiful or in my own
mind look beautiful.
It’s so easy to get caught up with those beauty product
adds, you try them and feel discouraged because they didn’t work.
You start thinking “ What’s wrong? What’s wrong with me? If
I COULD just look like that girl in the magazine I would be happy ,flawless…
elegant. Beautiful. Is this really true?
In our society so many girls don’t know what true beauty is.
And Lord, I sometimes get lost myself.
Lord I struggle sometimes seeing what you see . A couple
months ago I thought for a moment and asked
YOU…‘’How do you see me?’’ and you said ‘’Radiant.’’
I paused, and
pondered, my eyes lifted to the sky with joy and delight. I never thought that
you would see me as radiant. I could come up with an endless list of all my
flaws…not radiant at all.
But the amazing thing is, you look past that. You see Jesus first, then you look through my
heart and see me.
Myself. The true me. Hearing something from YOU made me feel
prized. Special. Beautiful. Loved.
It made me feel prized because you choose to see me the way
I will be one day. You see me as ‘’RADIANT’’ because I’m a reflection of your
RADIANCE.
When I hear whispers
of doubt. You gently remind me that I am beautiful through you.
It breaks my heart when I see girls striving for that
feeling… maybe because I have been there too.
Make my heart reflect your beauty… When people see me,
Please let them see YOU.. Your grace, Your love.
Use me. Shape me. Mold me.

I'm speechless... Katherine, the way you say things is so touching. God has blessed you with the gift of speech. You do have beauty from the heart.
