You're Beautiful

I am a pretty critical person in general and the person who takes the brunt of my criticism is myself. The past fews years I have really grown into being my own person and turning into this confident woman has enabled me to turn off "the critic" and just be. However, in dealing with my struggles of late, the critic has once again been unleashed. I feel as though I am in a constant battle within myself... feeling as though I am not good enough.

Today as I was driving the song Beautiful by Mercy Me came on and though I have heard it many times before, it spoke to me. I am thankful for a God who sees me for who I really am... and who can remind me just how special I am to Him.


Days will come when you don't have the strength
And all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart they'd see too much

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You're beautiful

Praying that you'd have the heart to fight
'Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
They are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His
You're beautiful

A moment where I felt truly beautiful...
