Hola Amigos!
This entry will address the question that so many women ask either one another or poll from the opposite sex: "Does this dress make me look fat?" To further clarify, this question may not necessarily involve a dress or a woman for that matter ; however, this and similar inquires stem from the insecure nature of human beings. According to dictionary.com the term insecurity means: lack of confidence or assurance; self-doubt or the quality or state of being insecure; instability. Of all the words used to define the word the one that struck me as the most relevant is INSTABILITY! Wow, this is precisely what many are looking for when they ask of one another The Question and those of the like.
People you will not receive the STABILITY that you crave from one another because against all possible beliefs we all are asking our own questions. That longing to be accepted; and thus, identified with or loved by someone unconditionally was purposely placed in our hearts by the supremely reigning God in heaven. That question will never be answered by our fellow brothers and sisters with as much fulfillment as it will from the God who is self proclaimed the epitome of LOVE! Therefore, why risk an answer to such a defining question that could possibly be laced with, jealousy, envy, or complete disregard of care by the polled individual? I have gotten in the habit of asking my heavenly Father how I look everyday and the answer is always the same: like one who's glow resembles the love of Christ.
We must be fully delivered from people and the strongholds that the enemy helps place within our minds from our first perceptions of the meaning of beauty. We are all beautiful, and why wouldn't we be if we were created in the image of such a majestic, almighty, loving, and AWESOME King! Let's start counting ourselves as worthy of true inner confidence people! We are loved by the One in charge of the heavens and the earth and he loves us and says that we are redeemed by the redeemer because we believe. Not because you are a perfect size six, not because red is your color, not because your skin is flawless; but because you believe in Jesus Christ's birth, death and resurrection from the grave! People that's all the information that we need to know. So let's stop with the self deprecating thoughts and questions (that is not of God); and when they do arise put some word on them!
