A Beautiful Mess
Embrace Your Story
“Miss America Mom”
You know her: she’s the mom who has a flat belly,
long legs, and perfect hair. Admit it, you occasionally wish she’d fall into a
cotton candy machine and gain thirty pounds. Her presence makes you feel less
than attractive, doesn’t it? Comparing ourselves with others is never a good
thing, and it’s not a God thing, either. God isn’t concerned with whether or
not your belly is as trim as it was before childbirth. His Word says that He
looks on the heart, not on your outward appearance. He’s more concerned with
the condition of your heart, not the cellulite on your legs. Of course, that
doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to be the best we can be--both inside and
out--but it certainly relieves some of the pressure to be perfect. Give your jealousies and feelings of inadequacy to
God and find you identity in Him. He loves you just the way you are—even if
you’re not Miss America.
“For the LORD does not see as man sees;
for man looks
at the outward appearance,
but the LORD looks at the heart.”
I Samuel 16:7
