"Be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD" - Psalm 31:24
"Fashion can be bought; Style one must posses." -Edna Woolman
Those are two of my favorite 'sayings' of all time. The first one happens to be my favorite Bible verse in the entire Bible. I do, however, have one very favorite saying of all, kind-of my mantra I guess. You're amazing just the way you are. Dawww that's sweet.
Nope. (I mean yes it is sweet but to me it has a lot more meaning) I know it only came from a love song by Bruno Mars but I firmly believe this statement and I tell it to myself every day. It's even on my bedroom wall!
I should probably explain now why I love this phrase so much.
Question for you: Do you believe that God can screw up or make an error? Hopefully you would say no. All through the Bible it says that God is perfect and He has never ever done anything wrong. Jesus was sinless. Okay so what does that mean? God can not make a mistake. Let's look at our facts: God made you. Therefore it is not possible for you to be a mistake, and therefore you have to believe that you are not a mistake.
I could talk about this topic for a reeeeeeeeally long time but I wanted to keep it a little on the shorter side today. God ON PURPOSE made you exactly how you look, with all the talents, strengths and weaknesses that you have, with a specific purpose in mind for you. I also think it's safe to say that God doesn't make crappy people. Sure, there are people who do pretty crappy stuff, but God obviously didn't make them do the things. It's just our idiot decisions that make us sin, and imperfect.

My meaning by all of this?
You are amazing just the way you are.
It's super nice outside right now so I'm going to go read out on a blanket in the front yard! XO Charlotte
