You're Beautiful!

Nancy Hahn Fischer

Are you convinced that only pretty girls are popular? Do you tell yourself you're plain, you'll never have any fun, and no one will ever love you?

It's time you stopped accepting those lies. Nothing can separate you from all the good life has, because God is Life. St. Paul said nothing can separate us from the love of God, not "things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth."^{ Rom. 8:38, 39;} We might add, "Neither long nose, nor dumpy figure, nor mousy hair, nor any other thing is 'able to separate us from the love of God." And the love of God includes us in every right activity—companionship, joy, and purpose.

The Bible says, "So God created man in his own image."^{ Gen. 1:27;} Did you ever realize that the image in a mirror proves a person is present in front of the mirror? The fact that you, the image of God, exist is proof that God is present. You are the very radiance, the showing forth, of God.
