Fearfully & Wonderfully Made
as girls, life can be hard. we struggle with things that boys don't. for example, makeup. personally, i love makeup. i think it's fun & i think it's a way that i get to feel beautiful in my own skin !! when it comes to makeup i think that you should wear as much or as little makeup as you please. for me, makeup is more of a necessity than it is just something i like. i have a skin condition called rosacea. it causes my skin to be tinted red which makes my skin look like i have major acne one my cheeks even if i don't. i usually don't go very many places without makeup on bc my skin is so red. but, i got to thinking & the Lord nudged me to write this post. i asked a few of my friends if they would send me a selfie with & one without makeup & that i would do the same.
so here we are, in both our natural & makeup beauty. & wow, my friends are beautiful.
when we were created, God made us without makeup. & that's not to say that we shouldn't wear it, bc like i said, i love it ! just like God loves me in my most vulnerable & intimate moments with Him, He also loves me in my most bare skin & in my pajamas. & that simple fact helps me feel more beautiful in my natural skin. so if you love makeup, or you have rosacea like me, or if you have really bad acne & you want to wear makeup, YOU WEAR THAT MAKEUP & YOU ROCK IT GIRL !! if you don't like makeup, or you have clear or even skin, & you don't want to wear makeup, then ROCK THAT NO MAKEUP !! my point is, be comfortable in your own skin, no matter what condition it's in. bc just like God will love you regardless of the state your heart is in, He also thinks you are the prettiest regardless of the state of your skin. whatever you like, own it !!! Psalm 139:14 "i praise you, for i am fearfully & wonderfully made. wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." make sure that your soul knows it very well.
