To the Broken:
There comes a time in every girls life that they realize they are not beautiful after all. No matter how often people have oohed and awed and complimented them, they know that either on the outside or inside they are hideous. So they try to cover it up... with volunteering, makeup, lying to themselves, and comparing themselves with others.
We may think, this isn't good! We need to build up there self esteem, we need to run and hug them and tell them they are beautiful! But this won't help and their situation is not necessarily a bad one. The only way someone can begin to understand God's grace or even believe that they need it, is when they know that they themselves are broken.
I know girls need to know that they are so loved by God that he died for them, and that they are not mistakes but treasures in His eyes. But I also know that we need to be broken before God for Him to receive us.
Dear hurting girls,
The next time you feel empty/ugly, please remember that Jesus is the answer! Remember that Jesus is the only One Who can fill that hole in your heart. He feels your pain and longs for you to come to Him so He can comfort you.
