This is a hard thing for many in todays society of perfection. We grew up in a world of virtual reality and media. Not learning the ways of life or failure. The social pressures are also extreme and unneccessary. The show "Beauty and the Geek" stresses it's okay in society for guys to be smart but girls must be pretty. What are these messages telling us as christians?
Romans 12:2
2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
God wants us to be who we are, who we were created to be. But when we find out in some way we are different, not "normal". We scrutinize ourselves pysically, mentally, socially. Girls are taught somehow that they are not complete without the love of a guy, so they will do anything to fulfill those feelings. This can lead to all kinda of problems. Really it can just be a big mess.
Tomorrow I will list some more Godly ways to view ourselves and others. Today i ask you too think about yourself and ask a couple of these questions:
~What do you struggle with most? appearence, accomplishments, or status
~ In your idea what does the ideal person look like?
~What do you like most about yourself?
~If you could change anything about yourself would you? What?
God Bless,
your sister in Christ~Erin
