BEAUTY ; “3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self,the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” 1 Peter 3:1-6 

 I understand what you may feel because we are so skeptical about our appearances, our views of beauty are completely wrong.Real beauty comes from within, and God sees those things when we as humans many only see whats on the outside. You are beautiful, God doesn’t make mistakes, he created you for a purpose in this earth. Do not listen to what they said, they’re lies. Those words hurt but tell yourself otherwise, you will never fit to the standards of this world. Its either you’re too skinny, too tall, too fat, too anything, we just won’t fit their expectations because those expectations are not real. Even the media is a lie, showing celebrities with perfect bodies when they are all edited, REAL BEAUTY is whats inside, not outside in the flesh, that perishes over time but the inner remains.

ATTENTION ; Like anyone, we want to be cared for and loved, we all want someone to be there for us but sometimes do not obtain it as we wish. We forget that our heavenly father is always there for us with an unconditional love watching over us and helping us in everything that we do.

FEAR; “Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. ” Psalm 23:4

 I understand your fear because you don’t want your parents to find out but the damaged was done, you  won’t solve anything by hating yourself and being scared. You need to hope for the best and if they do find out , they are your parents, they won’t love you less. They will realize that they need to give you more attention as their child, people can solve things by talking , I know that you are scared because you do not know what their reaction will be but punishing them and saying that everything is their fault doesn’t solve the problem either. Just be patient, and don’t give up in life.

DEATH doesn’t solve the problem, we are going to face several trials in life and it is in us whether we want to keep fighting or give up, take the easy route. But i tell you, it is not worth it, life will get hard yes but you need to keep going. God has amazing plans for your life, take heart, things with your parents will get fixed don’t give up.

Here’s a great song ; Josh Groban - You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up)  | listen to it.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

1 Samuel 16:7

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”

I know how you feel, I was the same way and am I at time. I’m 22, out of college (lack of funds), have a job, and not really hanging around people and I get down. But during this time we need to lean on God more. I thought I was dependent on him but I was dependent on others to make me feel happy and loved. I am single and honestly it’s fine, There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV. Let your desire be for God and his unfailing love for you and delight in him so that he may give you the desire of your heart (Psalm 37:4). How can you be happy with earthy things if you don’t happiness with God? I am still learning, I still get sad and I cry here and there it’s because I’m still growing, as are you. I want more out of life, my friends have graduated college or graduating and the only reason I’m not homeless is because my brother and his family took my family in and I question God but how are we much less I to say, “Why God, why are things different and I’m sad now? JOb once said, He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said. Job 2:10 NIV. Not only that but we have to rebuke those feelings in Jesus, because the heart is deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9) above all things and to  Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 NIV. I will be your friend and can send you scriptures if you want, all up to you, but depend on God, read his word, combat your feelings using scripture. :)

God bless, In Christ, Jacqueline

Society is cruel, they want us to believe that beauty is defined in a certain way when it is not. Beauty to them is being skinny, but in reality they still critize you if you are too skinny, too fat, it is endless. You can’t listen to society because it is all a lie. The media is a lie. We are all fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image. He doesn’t make mistakes in his creations if he made them in his image because God is perfect. You see, the outward appearance is a mask that fades over time but the inner beauty is the one that lasts a life time. It is the one that matters, it is the one that should matter to you and with it learn to love your outward as well, with that you will be more confident about yourself.(Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made your works are wonderful,I know that full well.)

(1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”)

God sees your heart, he sees your feelings, that is the real beauty and the most important one of all. You are amazing, you are worth it, don’t believe me? Well John 3:16 is selfexplanatory, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus died on the cross for you because he thought you were worth the sacrifice, he knew every single mistake you were going to make and yet he still gave it all for YOU so that you could live today. So think again when you say that you are worthless, you may feel like you are but you aren’t because God thinks you are worth so much! 

See,the more you tell yourself those negative things the more you will believe them and they will become your reality, they don’t have to though, you can change those things to positive ones. Choose to use your struggles for something positive in your life, maybe the missing puzzle in your life is God. Remember, you are worth it, don’t forget you are beautiful, and keep in mind that God loves you! -jenny

I know that its very difficult to see a loved one suffer the way that she is but you can’t lose faith. (‘Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’Isaiah 41:10 ) You have to trust and hope for the best even though that it is very tough. God got this, many people have lived many more years with the treatments they have no a days, it’s not impossible. (Matthew 19:26  Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”) I know that it is very challenging to believe when everything around you may seem a blur but God is with you, if you do not pray, I suggest that you try talking to God, ask him to heal your grandma. Miracles are able to happen, they happen everyday. 

Cry if you have to, talk to others and let them know how you feel about this, letting things out help heal wounds. Living it all inside will only make the pain deeper and deeper. 

Accepting death its hard, but you need to understand that even if it doesn’t happen now, it will eventually. We are not from here, we all belong to our creator, God. (“The Bible tells us that there is not only life after death, but eternal life so glorious that “no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9)”)
