You can fat, thin, tall, short, have all your limbs intact, or all your arms and legs missing, have or not have tattoos and piercings..... It Doesn't matter. In God's eyes you are beautiful.
But a gentle and quiet spirit is precious to Him......Because It is Christ like.
And it was this forgiving Christ like attributes from my mom and all the other Christians I persecuted that eventually lead me back to Christ.
My short testimony is in the poetry section, Dear God

You're welcome....Thanks for your honest input....And Not attacking me or trying to find fault. Like some other people do i enjoy a good honest discussion where malice doesn't exist, but unfortunately, some people come into threads looking to find fault so that they can be considered right. Silly people lol..... You Are not one them btw

This is one of the most honest posts I have ever read. The emphasis on the body is so strong in our culture that it has become mainstream even in our churches. The worship of youth and beauty are considered a virtue. For myself I find the men I have cared for have never ended up being my "type". It was the person inside who made the outside more and more attractive. I long ago threw out the list of likes.
When my husband left me after I became ill I also became depressed as I felt I could never find love again. Why? I have some scars on my stomach from surgeries and lost my small waist. I alternated between shame and thinking about booking surgery with imaginary money. I realized that if I had to cut myself up and go into debt to be loved that I was heading in the wrong direction. I made peace with me. I threw myself into gratitude, humour, family and friends. I didn't bury myself in activity. I went deeper into my artwork, acting, writing, volunteer work but never let it own me. Some days I need to remind myself of who I am and that that is enough but most days I feel freer, happier and more grounded than ever. If one day God has someone who sees me as beautiful to them then I will celebrate that but for today I will enjoy its own miracles and completeness. Bless you Zero for sharing your truth.

Thank you for your wonderful post. This is exactly why I created this thread.
I used to have an extremely low self confidence, so much so I hated myself. So I kept looking for love in all the wrong places.
For what it's worth, I am considered attractive, but it means nothing to me, because it is shallow.
I have found that the more I practice what Christ teaches, the more confident I have become, am becoming.
This new self confidence is not like the 'self confidence' of the world, which is ALL about outer appearances, but it comes from within. It is forgiving, compassionate, loving and accepting.
I so desperately want a quiet and gentle spirit which is precious to God, because my mom was my human example of this. And i know by practising what I preach, through the Teachings of Christ, I shall achieve this.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your words and the heart behind them. Beauty within lights the outside and how people see us. I have met men with little physical beauty but their faith, heart, kindness and passion for life make them incredibly attractive. I've heard fellows say that women don't want nice guys. The truth is we want men with some fire, it is how they embrace life. That is attractive. I am never feel more attractive than when I volunteer and see the joy and hope in the faces of others. I never feel so alive as when I try something bigger than myself, something that takes me out of my usual routine. Oh dear I am starting to go on again. What I really wanted to do was to say thank you Spiritualpixie.

Loving ourselves in a healthy and loving way, also means that we can love others the same way too.
I'm fed up with the way the world claims what beauty is supposed to be. God, has clearly stated what is beautiful to Him and you know what?
For the first time in my life, because of Christ, I feel beautiful. After years of hating myself, to feel good about myself is amazing. Best thing of all?
God loves me. I no longer need the acceptance of any human to feel anything at all. When God says He Loves you. He MEANS IT. Wooooohoooo!!!! ❤
