If only
I would see myself the way God sees me,
I would see this:
She is more precious than rubies
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness"
and instead of wishing I was somebody else, I would say this
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
Lord, Your works are wonderful.

Thanks, Julie. This made me cry a little.
You are gorgeous in all eyes!
Such a good reminder...so hard to "get" sometimes though. Love you girl!
love this :)
God does good work! Now that I've 'entered' the beauty industry as a cosmetology student--I feel like I just want to tell all these people who say that their natural hair color is 'so ugly' or that they need to cover up all their gray hair or that they need to straighten their rebellious curly hair every day...that NO! God does good work when he makes up hair colors. and textures. And gray hair is a crown of wisdom. And stuff like that. I don't think I'm destined to make much money in this industry...
Great post! and I love the new look/name for your blog! :) Blessings
In this gotta be thinner, gotta be prettier, keeping up with the Jones' world, this is a really hard lesson to remember. Thanks for sharing!
LOVE love LOVE this! So awesome and true. It is hard to see yourself the way God does. I needed this!
Love this reminder. And, you're pretty much fabulous just the way you are! Love ya friend!
very good reminder that we are beautiful in God's eyes. Only in the world's eyes are we not good enough.
if we could just see ourselves the way others see us, let alone how God sees us! I imagine all of our "if only" lists have a lot of similarities... at the top of mine is if only my teeth were straight and nice - ugh, LOL
