My beauty is not a product of cosmetics or anything that can be bought;
the Lord is my creator and from Him is where my beauty comes.
That's not conceited.
It is truth.
I have come to the realization that sometimes I put my confidence in eyeliner and mascara. I depend on those things to make people notice me. To feel beautiful. To feel confident.
Are my eyelashes clumpy? Does the emerald bring out my eyes more than the cappuccino? Those are my questions as I attempt to achieve beauty approved by the world.
But God has gently reminded me that He made me perfect. Not pretty enough that makeup can "finish the job", but genuinely and uniquely beautiful.
Even at 23, I'm still learning to reject what the world tells me and to recklessly rely on Christ.
