What Makes You More Beautiful
What makes you more beautiful? If you are confronted with the question, what would you answer?
Is that when you put on a very nice make up on your face? Or when you feel well-groomed in a particular situation? When you wear clothing that perfectly gives a body shape. When you have fairer skin free from blemishes? Perhaps you look lovely in your photos uploaded in Facebook, and people love them, leaving lots and lots of comments? Okey, I do agree those will make you more beautiful. But, slightly!
To me, the answer would be when you realize how special you are! Wouldn’t you feel that you are the most beautiful woman ever? I give you an example, in a romantic relationship the guy you like cares about you. Among all of your friends, his attention is drawn to you. He even wants to be with you all the times. And the fact that he only thinks of you might overwhelm you, isn’t it?
The message is… You are the one! You are special.
But do you realise that we don’t need to wait for the “perfect man” to come into our life so that we will feel special. Hey, He who makes us the apple of His eyes has already made us special. God has made you special since the time He formed you in your mother’s womb. You are not born to be special, but you are born special.
I once thought that if we are all special, we are not ‘that’ special anymore. Too many ’specials’ equals to common, isn’t it? But you know what, we are not mass produced! God designs us with an innumerable DNA in each cell in the human body. I was told that each of DNA even carries different message which differentiates us from others.
Do you realise that there is a message in our life? A special message as a response to His calling. What makes us so special, Lord, that You even care for everyone of us? What is the reason that You think we are special?
There is a calling in our life that differentiates us from others. A definite purpose, a big dream, a desire of your heart, you name it. They are inside you, and they are waiting to be released…
..in order to make you more beautiful.
“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
beautiful… i think.. to be beautiful means to be in peace with onself and with once’s body. You also have to be YOU. If you try to change, you will never be beautiful.
