I don't feel very beautiful. Any tips how to create a better self image? I mean, I know God thinks I'm beautiful, but I just have a very hard time with it because no one has legitilly told me before, and all of my friends are so gorgeous and everybody loves them. And I think, how could god honestly think I'm beautiful. Anything helps.

It is a hard place to be, theoneandonly222. I don't hear that I'm beautiful, either, and that is okay because my beauty is truly in God's eyes. I receive occasional compliments from friends and family, as I'm sure you do, but that is it. So here's a few things I recommend:

1. Let God tell you you're beautiful. Read His word. Spend time with Him. Discover your true beauty in Him. Only then will you truly believe it.
2. Sow beauty. You know that it is true that you will reap what you sow. Begin to sow compliments to others. You know how much you want to hear that you're beautiful, so understand that others want to hear that as well, so begin to sow what you desire into others.
3. Don't look for men to tell you you're beautiful. Honestly, this is a trap of the enemy, as he will be sure to have no men tell you so until the 'right' one comes along, tells you what you want to hear, get you to compromise who you are and what you believe, and then leave you alone and crying. If you seek your worth in others, you will be left wanting.

I hope this helps. I have a blog you can check out, too, called Infuse Me With Beauty | The journey of a young girl trying to see her beauty through tainted eyes. Feel free to check it out.

True beauty comes from within, not from outward appearances. Your personality is what makes you beautiful. Don't compare your looks to your friends or anyone for that matter. Our looks are constantly changing and fading, being "pretty" doesn't last. It won't matter in ten years if you were the prettiest person today and received the most compliments. What people will truly remember is how you treated them: if you were kind, caring, loving, selfless, etc. Don't base who you are on your looks. You can't measure how pretty someone is, pretty is what we make it to be. Whether it is based on the true beatuy from within or what the media wants you to believe it is.
Remember that your Father made you perfect. He also has made a man out there for you, who thinks you are the prettiest women in the world.
Work on your confidence, how you see yourself is how others will see you. When you start picking apart yourself(like all girls do), stop and remind yourself that you are pretty. I like the saying "Fake it till you make it". Even if you don't believe you're pretty now, you will believe it! And remember don't compare yourself to other, when you stop comparing yourself to others is when you truly will see just how pretty you are!
I, for one, would rather be told I had a great personality rather than I am pretty. Jusssayin:)

Proverbs 31:30 - Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain , but a woman that feareth the Lord; she shall be praised.

Not saying that there's anything wrong with being or wanting to be beautiful , but don't let it be your main concern.
Having favor of God is way more important than having favor with man.

Don't care about what people think about you
the point is what God think about you
the people in the world love the beauty but God love our hearts
why Lucifer fallen? Because his beauty !

If guys don't like you for the reason they don't think you are beautiful, then they are shallow.

And I think, how could god honestly think I'm beautiful. Anything helps.
the funny thing is, I have lived with a family of girls my whole life. all throughout school most of my friends were girls because for some reason I make much better friends with girls than boys. so I all know all about them, I know things about them that guys would never find out about. I know how they treat each other behind the scenes, even the closest of them talk about each other behind each others back. Oh I could right a whole book about what I know about them and how most of them think, and here is what I know about beauty. Most of them think they are never beautiful enough, they all seem to be doing all they can to make themselves more beautiful. even the most gorgeous ones get insanely Jealous of others with say bigger boobs or so called better men. so most of them never think they are pretty enough, in fact some go so far as to literally starve themselves where they get weak.

So you see, you don't see yourself as beautiful enough but neither do most women everywhere. Those beautiful friends of yours do not define beauty, beauty is something that requires nothing to be changed at all. this is why you are beautiful, because God made every bit of you exactly as you are supposed to be. even if you weighed three hundred pounds your beauty shines brighter than the sun.
